In any other facet of your life, not being able to prove the existence of something would convince you that it doesn't exist. But on this one subject, you add an unreasonable demand-- science must prove the NON-existence of something.

That is the sort of thing we do when we're trying to cling to something that we desperately wish were true. When we must abandon reason in order to make something true, it doesn't make it true. It just makes us unreasonable.
It seem to me that you follow that old saying........... ATTACKING IS THE BEST DEFENCE.
Sorry but is you guys that relaying on physical science to prove something that of course can not prove.
Would not be better to say............SO FAR PHYSICAL SCIENCE IS UNABLE TO DISPROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD SO I CAN NOT SAY THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST......THAT IS WHY THE WORD ATHEIST SHOULD ONLY MEAN .........SOMEONE THAT IS NOT INTERESTED IN GOD NOT THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST.Angel

None of that answers my questions or addresses my point. In any other facet of your life, you rely on science and on evidence to prove things. When it comes to god, you find no evidence and there is nothing to prove he exists, so you throw science aside and decide that evidence is overrated.

And why wouldn't an atheist be interested in god? I enjoy a good fiction as much as the next person. Smile
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
