Ah yes, the 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' defense. If you actually care to know why this is absurd when it comes to your god read the linked article.


Quote:That is the situation with the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. Until recent times, absence of evidence for his existence has not been sufficient to rule him out. However, we now have enough knowledge that we can identify many places where there should be evidence, but there is not. The absence of that evidence allows us to rule out the existence of this God beyond a reasonable doubt.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victor-ste...82169.html

The writers of the Bible gave us evidence that their specific god does not exist. We may not have evidence that there is no supernatural being floating around in hyperspace, but once you codify a specific god and give him attributes and actions in the phenomenal world and human history, any evidence against what is written is also evidence against the deity being written about.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
