Why would you think atheists have been looking for that?
Why would you not be still looking? Because if you were gasping out your last breath, you can't tell me that you would not have just a little bit of hope that it's not the end for you.
Quote:Because, since both believers and Atheists are both still alive, none of us is sure about anything!
Incorrect.  You may not be sure about anything, but I'm sure about quite alot.

Quote:In no way, is it being presented as a means to ‘convert’ anyone. I just thought Atheist could look at it out of curiosity and form an opinion about it.

I think that any effort to conflate magic and natural processes in the context of theistic belief is doomed from the outset.  Not just or even particularly because such an investigation will not yield the stated product - but because if it did that would rob said gods of the source of their authority in the first place.  Subordinating them to natural processes and contextualizing their interaction in the world as, more properly, the interaction of natural agents in nature.
That's a lot to say about a premise you've never read. I have to learn how to reply, I'm sure I messed up!
