Well I guess I fall into that category. By any stretch of the word, I cannot imagine a universe in which a God could exist. The only way the idea of God itself makes any sense at all is if it is defined merely as the universe itself, nothing more and nothing less but that. We already know that the universe exists, so sure, if some people like to call it God, let them, but other than that I know for sure there is no God just as I know there is no living human inside of a sun, with a DNA like ours, names esdpofgasdfasd;f, that drinks Ice Tea.
Can someone please explain to me why the majority of atheists give this the benefit of the doubt, namely that God certainly doesn't exist? It seems a bit dogmatic.

As ussual your opponent is only using word play at trying to discredit the atheist stance instead of producing good evidence.
The main thing about science is that the burden of proof is upon the one who asserted the theory not the ones who refute it.
In fact a true sceintist tries to disprove his own theory to show that he/she has no bias on the point and so can state without doubt that the theory is a fact. If not then not.
Religion goes on faith. True enough. That doesn't mean that you have to, not in this country. I love to remind the theist that.
Why bring science into it though? What does science have to do with anything. It seems to me God is more of a philosophical subject than a scientific one.
