Professor's Proposition: Only Two Logical Choices

RE: Professor's Proposition: Only Two Logical Choices

Faced with an absence of evidence of God, assuming one rejects all the evidence of miracles which I have described, it is not rational to say that there MUST be no God simply because there is no evidence that there is.

It seems to me that many atheists are willing to believe in plenty of other things without any proof, like the existence of intelligent life around other planets.

An agnostic knows there is no evidence either way, so he logically chooses to say there is no way to know and takes that position.

An atheist is taking a position of faith, believing in an unprovable doctrine.

Wrong.
