Quote: Of course, if Atheism were true, I may just be a subjective chemical delusion created in your mind, with no objective reality. You really can't be sure what subjective chemical delusions you ought to experience as 'your mind'. You certainly can't test it scientifically, because even the rules of science would be nothing more than the deliverances of chemical delusions.
This philosophical position is solipsism. Could it be true? Yes. Does it lead you somewhere? No. We have to accept that the world outside our minds is real, otherwise we couldn't do anything.
If there's anything that I believe and can't be justified is this. The world is real. I take this an axiom.
Theists think that they can prove that the world is real by proving that god is real. This is a futile and potentially dangerous attempt, because if you have a theistic mindset any evidence against an intelligent god (and there's plenty of them: vestigiality, mass extinctions, quantum mechanics, etc) would also prove that the world doesn't exist.
Theism is a circular argument. Theists want to prove god through nature, but to do so they need god to prove that nature exists.
