Yeah, the only friendly disagreements is basically how confident (and as always, based on evidence) we believe no god(s) exist.
(I'm ignostic. I, like many here don't even understand the question in any meaningful way!)

Arguing with us is arguing against science books ... We are not the enemy. Logic and science is. We make no claims whatsoever.

I nominate this post for, err, some sort of nomination.


My bold.

Is it because immediately after making a broad and generlizes claim, the poster then claims that he is making no claims?

Sorry, my bad. I meant we make no extra ordinary claims!

(didn't realize that stating the obvious was a claim that needed some kind of proving. )

I would disagree with both; so yes, it is a claim, that needs supported.

Indeed. If we stick to the null hypothesis* we have no need for outrageous claims.

*God does not exist.

Not really, it seems to me that believing in no god is believing “something”.

IMHO, Science exists to prove the existence of a God, and it does. So I don’t see myself fighting science, I see myself fighting scientists that have a little religion of their own. I mean, does science really prove, for example, the theory of evolution. I mean, lots of animals adapt to new situations, but that’s not evolution. Like the birds on the Galápagos Islands, which is what my science teacher used to try to tell me about evolution. But where is the actual solid evidence for a creature evolving into a completely new creature. Because if it’s true that everything started as a single organism or cell, and now there are millions of species and different creatures...seriously!? Sounds crazy to me.

And what about “pre-history”...it doesn’t fit. There is clear evidence of a world wide flood, and many old books speak of a huge flood, not just the Bible.

My point with all that is this: I can’t find any evidence of many theory’s that scientists and atheist put forth to deny the existence of God.

For example:
-evolution
-the Big Bang
-pre history

So that’s one reason I believe in God, The evidence is all around.

Theists make the claim, now it's that old burden of proof thing on the theists. 

Scientists are not putting forth theories to disprove god. They occasionally use these theories to dismiss the need for the existence of a god(s) but that is not the theories original intent/purpose.
