Why not? What assurance is there that we are not just in a pocket of proximate order within a cosmic chaos. That is not a question for you, but rather for those atheists willing to express what they are for and not just what they are against. I could have started a thread like "Atheism is Nihilisitic" but instead I choose to ask the question and give members of the forum the opportunity to present me with their opinions about how a strictly atheistic philosophy justifies its claims. Can it be foundationalist?
@Belacqua, I often hear how classical demstrations for god have been refuted many times. The proported refutations generally challenge the validity of classical philosophy's assumptions. But after dispensing with all the foundational principles of classical philosophy to what does the debunker appeal to as foundational knowlege?
