Evolution, the Bible, and the 3.5 Million Dollar Violin - my article

[Tobie]

If you give good evidence that god should be considered more likely to exist than santa, I will consider it so, however, as things stand, no evidence has been given to make either worth considering likely at all. A personal testament may be all the proof you require to believe in some supernatural being, but dubious statements from dubious people are never things I would consider proof enough for me to change my lifestyle, especially when they contradict science.

I've asked many atheists for reasons to consider God as likely as Santa and I haven't found any good ones. If you want to apriori consider God as likely as Santa you should at least have a justifiable reason, and God's existence does is no way contradict science.

A god existing does not necessarily contradict science, but almost all of them do, due to the properties that various religions give them.

Anyway, you considering our reasons for considering the existence of god as or less likely than santa (who at least was human, if you go by the St Nick stuff, but if you santa is the invention of Coca Cola, god is as likely as santa) not good is no surprise to me, seeming as you assume one exists. What is not justifiable about citing lack of evidence as a reason for not considering the existence of god very likely? Why don't you give me a justifiable reason for considering the existence of god a likely possibilty?
