What distinguishes a fantasy book from the bible?

Yes, I understand why you would accept that evidence, but I also feel that a color blind person who was as skeptical as many atheists are would not believe in the existence of those other colors. That’s one of my points here. Atheists believe in numerous things that lack actual logical proof, but then chastise the theist for doing the same.

Well, there is a difference between being skeptical and ignoring evidence. I am very skeptical, yet when evidence is presented, I will acknowledge it as will most atheists.

Could you give me an example of something that atheists believe that lacks logical proof? (And don't say evolution)

Haha, I was not going to say evolution, but that would have been funny. :-) Well the existence of logic itself is something all (I believe all at least) atheists would accept without logical proof. There are many things atheists will accept as real in the realm of science that lack evidence or logical proof, such as the existence of multi-verses, extra-terrestrial life, and abiogenesis. Actually even the principle of induction which all of science is based on is something that has no logical basis in an atheistic world. I would venture to say that all atheists believe at least a few of these things above and yet they do not have logical proof to justify this belief, so then why jump on the theist for doing the same?

That's all he's got. Creationists think that all they have to do is pretend to poke holes in evolution and their bible bullshit becomes "true" by default.


Yet, ask him for evidence that all life appeared 6,000 years ago in the middle east and all you'll get is silence.

Yeah shame on those silly creationists for understanding how disjunctive syllogisms work lol. You could stop them though, just present a theory that is not so terribly easy to poke holes in. :-P
