Thanks.  What did you think of the article, though?  Feel free to be critical of it; I didn't write it.  My impression of a lot of so-called "believing" scientists is that, "Yeah, my faith makes me feel good, helps people cope, etc., etc., but, I won't want to defend it in a court of law."  Well, why not?  Why believe in something that you are unwilling to defend, to go to bat for?

I agree with the position.
Reading Mark Harrisons post, i don't understand why the burden of proof should be on atheists claiming that there is no god.How do you find evidence to disprove something when there is no evidence to support it in the first place, 2 negatives don't make a positive.
