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

[Silver]

---

One of the standard mantras atheists are taught to say is "I'm an atheist because I have seen no evidence for God."

This is not a convincing reason to be an atheist. Why?

It's possible for someone to be too blind or too ignorant to see or understand the evidence. Just like a toddler might say "I see no evidence of the validity of Quantum Mechanics" or a blind woman might say "I see no evidence of the existence of colors" the problem might be with the person and not the evidence. 

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. 

Atheists here, for the most part are not competent enough to do this. 

And hence, when someone says they are an atheist because they have seen no evidence, the best response seems to be to send them to an optometrist.

Dear, Delicate,

You are as a child, attempting at logic yet reaching ignorance instead.

After all, one can merely state that evidence is available, but providing it is the key. What evidence have you provided that is worth any merit?

All you have is faith that what you believe is real. One cannot offer that as evidence.

If anyone is incompetent, it is the theist for making a claim that cannot be supported by any evidence whatsoever.
