But in this thread we've an argument by atheists stating that as there is no evidence for god and also no evidence to show god is necessary that god is needed to create the universe there is no rational need to believe unless new evidence comes to light, and on the other hand we've got Little Rik whose argument is "herpa, derpa, derp". So where you're getting assumption from is unclear to me.
In this thread it is stated that the OP does not believe God exists because the universe is too big, so, how exactly that is? Why the size of the universe prove that God does not exist? You did not answer me in your message. In fact, you did not even adress my question in your message, you only made statements which I do not know where did you get them from. I am interested, though, in answering them, so you can start another thread, since answering to them in this thread would mean going offtopic.
The two bolded bits don't chime. Do you believe in the celestial teapot? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "probably not" because it is a device created by Bertrand Russell to show the ridiculousness of christians shouting "you cannot prove god doesn't exist". With that being said, neither you nor I can prove that a teapot doesn't orbit the sun which is too small to observe with a telescope, but the concept is so absurd as for it to be safe for us to dismiss it unless evidence came to light that it either existed or had to exist.
It is for the same reason why I and other atheists are confident, without evidence to the contrary, to dismiss the idea of god.
