Agnostic Atheism? Your opinions..

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Exactly. Many atheists are frightened to claim to "know" there is no god, even though it's absolutely obvious there is no god.

Logical fallacy;argument from personal incredulity.


A person saying" I know there is no god" Is doing exactly the same as a person who states "I know there IS a god" . Each is stating a position based on personal certitude rather than evidence. Belief without evidence is called faith.

I'm a Skeptic. To me, that means all questions remain open. I try to avoid truth statements,choosing to opine. My agnostic atheism is a result of my skepticism; I am unable to believe in god(a) due to the lack of credible evidence. However. I cannot claim to KNOW. It matters not at all how unlikely I think it is that I'm mistaken: I MIGHT be.


BUT the issue is largely academic to me. On a day-to-day basis,I live AS IF there are no such as,for example: god (s), souls,angels, djins, geniis,demons,ghosts,the paranormal, dragons,mountain trolls or fairies at the bottom of my garden..


Argument from lack of evidence is also unsound as a principle.

Argument from incredulity/Lack of imagination

Arguments from incredulity take the form:

P is too incredible (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
It is obvious that P (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false); therefore P must be true.

These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.
