Existence requires an explanation, which we have no answer for at the moment, and I'm sceptical that science will provide the evidence to account for existence, on that basis I don't discount a god.
A lack of belief, or disbelief are just interchangeable to me, it's pure semantics rather than a difference in perspective. So it's not something I would commit to, particularly given my scepticism to suitable evidence being obtained.
I lack belief in god for the simple reason that I've seen no evidence or good reason to rule in a god. Science is so far the best method we have available to find out the truth. It's not perfect but it works pretty well.
With the help of science, I can provide at the very least a basic explanation to how everything got here. And so I'm satisfied with that. Science is developing ever more technology and is gaining ever more knowledge.
Still looking into virtual particles because they interest me. They show that things really can pop in and out of existence naturally. Self created and self destroyed. And without violating the laws of nature.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
