Why do people insist that the atheists argument begins with the assumption "no god". The conclusion may be "no god" with respect to individual arguments, but that isn't the fault of the atheist is it. Things are what they are, the man who first theorized that the earth revolved around the sun did not make it so by his wishing.
God is apparently very socially awkward, not surprising, if he has existed alone in eternity. We don't find him anywhere (and not for lack of looking). For "god" to work in any argument, it must be stated as the premise, making god as the conclusion circular logic. There is no argument for god that does not use god as it's premise. Criticizing the opposing viewpoint does not lend any more credibility to your own. Stating that atheists reasoning is as "flawed" as the theists is a statement arising from misinformation, or willfully obtuse.
