Is atheism a scientific perspective?

[AAA]

So I'm seriously late to the game here... was busy celebrating a hallmark holiday. I only read the first and last page (cause I'm seriously lazy) but it seems to morph into a bigger battle than the OP was meant for. On one hand I noticed right off the bat that indeed some people were being a little harsh. I know that every time a religious person comes in here making threads its the same thing and we keep doing these battles until we are frustrated and mean to the new Xian but that really was a little harsh.

On the other hand I did roll my eyes and sigh after reading the post... can we just get a disclaimer banner that tells xians that we have been there argued that already?

Also just because I came here to comment on the actual subject I will say that the reason atheists make it seem like what we believe goes hand in hand with science is because thus far science agrees with us. You don't really see scientists that are religious because it breaks all common sense so they wouldn't be a very good scientist if they are just believing in things with no proof. And no sweetie the proof you have mentioned is not real scientific proof to any real scientists. Just because something is old doesn't mean it wasn't fake to begin with. (sorry if all this was discussed in the pages I didn't read... I reckon I should stop being lazy and go read them)

Just so you know...this is like the 5th time we've been around and around with this guy over ID in the past year or so.  He's not new here, which I think can explain much of the scorn you are seeing here.  

I'm not really bothered or surprised by the hateful nature of the comments. I'm disappointed that the hateful comments are basically what you come to when you don't want to address the argument. Specifically you LadyforCamus just insult. You have never attempted to deal with the argument. It's hard to argue with atheists considering that so many of you are unwilling to consider anyone else worthy of your precious intellect.

I never asserted that there has to be an intelligence. It's that intelligence is the only known cause capable of producing some features of the natural world. 

Sure sounds like argument from ignorance, or argument from personal incredulity to me.

Please let us know how you eliminated every possible natural mechanism...

That's what the word known is there for.
