Heads up advice for atheists.

"No shit, that's why we have logic and the various fields of philosophy"

"Even so it does not permit you to make up bullshit"

A more fitting response might be "That's why we have science, so we can investigate what science doesn't yet know". Quoting Dara Ó Briain, "Science knows it doesn't know everything, otherwise it'd stop."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Straw man. Science should never stop investigating. Brain fallen out is when science investigates square circles. I don't credit scientists with such little intelligence.

"No one has knowledge of God" is what I was saying.

"Invisible pink unicorns exist" You might as well be making that claim.

Once again, you are projecting your desires into a gap.

Wrong, we know black holes exist because of the affects of them on the material they suck in. We also know dark matter exists because of the affects it has on the material around them.

This is your bad logic.

"I don't have an answer=an invisible sky hero did it".

You have a deeply rooted misunderstanding of how scientific method works.

Quote:"No one has knowledge of God

Right, so instead of claiming one exists, the simple explanation is that humans make them up, for the same reason you know the Egyptian polytheistic gods did not exist. They were projecting their desires in the forms of those fictional gods, and you are not making any less of the same mistake in flawed perceptions.
