When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

[athrock]

I've seen the one with Tony Hancock and Sid James. Same thing.

Before I forget, please note the edits I made to my previous post.

Now, the movie is interesting in that all 12 jurors heard the same evidence presented in court, but each of them had a different reaction to that evidence. Different prejudices and life experiences led them to those different reactions.

In the same way, different people hear the evidence and arguments made by the defense attorneys for God (commonly referred to as evangelists and apologists) with various filters in place, and this obviously affects their reactions to that evidence and those arguments.

I guess what I'm driving at is that there is some evidence offered by believers that appears credible. Consequently, atheists need to do more than wish it away if they wish to succeed in the marketplace of ideas. 

What a deliciously nebulous statement.  Some evidence, some believers?  Oh, that must settle it then...pesky things like specifics only get in the way.  Success in the marketplace of ideas?  

LOL

In 1966, Time magazine dared to ask:



But as Pew Research points out 50 years later, major theistic groups like Christianity and Islam continue growing. Clearly, skeptics were crowing a bit prematurely.

Clearly, if the atheist wants the public to believe that there is no evidence, they have to be able to respond meaningfully to purported examples of theistic evidence.

You assume -incorrectly in my case- that atheists should all feel compelled to debunk your bullshit.  There is no such requirement.  Many atheists will go to great pains to disabuse you of your whacko beliefs.  I've got better things to do.

And yet, here you are.
