"Naturalism of the gaps" is a somewhat clever phrase. Too bad about the ancient ideas of curses and omens and pissed off gods or devils or spirits gave way to germ theory, meteorology, tectonics, and astronomy, to name a few. You have it utterly backwards - science has systematically deepened our understanding of the universe. We're not confident in naturalistic answers being found for our remaining questions due to blind faith, but because of the rather long and broad track record science has. That's not faith, it's reasonable expectation that the trend will continue because there's no reason why it shouldn't.

"God's invisible qualities... have been clearly seen." LMAO.

And you finish it off with the tired "You're just atheists because you enjoy sin" BS. Yes, please, tell me what I think. Quick, how many fingers am I holding up?

I am guessing one?

What the bible states about hell.

Because I can see into the future and you had no option but to present the bird.

Hey idiot, how the fuck can you see what is invisible? If it is invisible it cannot be seen, that's the whole point of calling something invisible.

That really says a whole lot of nothing, snowtracks.  We've barely begun to explore space.  If other complex lifeforms exist, we may simply not have contacted each other given the vast distances involved and the sheer number of other stars.  Saying it's the only known place makes it a big non sequitur.  What we currently know has zip impact on any truth to the idea that the earth is the center of our universe.  It is the center of the known universe.  That and $6 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.

Nontheists persist in claiming that some hypothetical, unguided, mindless set of processes in the realm of the unknown or unknowable actually resulted in the origin of life. More 'Naturalism of the Gaps', more big, big universe stuff so there has to be something alive; no evidence but it just has to be; and think about all those meta-physical speculations of multiverses that  would negate the universe's fine-tuning parameters that we actually know exist.

understood from what has been made, so there aren't any atheist. Why they say they are is that God places demands on  morality.

Whew, thanks - I needed a good laugh.
That's got to be the most ridiculously illogical statement I've seen in ages.

'understood from what has been made'.
