I use the design around me to conclude his existence.
A non-believer should do the same and admit that they are also following a mere conclusion.
And both of us should wait until God rules between us. I say he's there; you say he's not.
That is said to both believers and non-believers; btw.
I don't say "God doesn't exist," I say that I an unconvinced by arguments for his existence. You've been here for years, you should at least know the positions that most atheists take. I don't see design in nature, so I don't use that to conclude anything about a designer. You're making an assertion about the un-examinable 96% of the universe based on faulty reasoning, and expecting that to be compelling? Sorry, I think you're just as ignorant about the universe as I am, only I don't go making assertions about the unknown - since it's, y'know, unknown.
If your argument is "wait for God to come prove it," then why bother making threads at all?
