Is Atheism Intellectual Cowardice?

[Theistsbane]

Okay, I'll make this simple for you. I'll ignore the arrogance from which you proceed and focus rather on your fallacious argument. We could sit around doubting ourselves constantly over what "could" be. We could sit on the fence, like agnostics, and commit to neither school of thought. However, and I speak only for myself here, one need not prove that God does not exist to have a definitive answer. One need only prove that the existence of God is not NECESSARY to the existence of the universe. Science has done that. Case closed. Purple unicorns could exist, too. But wasting intellectual energy by refusing to accept the unlikeliness of such a creature is pointless. I accept agnostics as uneasy brothers and sisters in our plight, but fail to see how advocating the "maybe" stance actually helps anyone.
