What definition would that be?

Quote:1. This is a theory supported by evidence, however substantial. Your religious belief is supported by absolutely no evidence at all.
Depends who's defining evidence.
Quote:2. Belief in abiogenesis is absolutely unnecessary to be an atheist, and there are doubtless many who do not accept it.
What is their explanation for the origin of life?
Quote:3. I've seen precisely zero atheists claim that it is undeniably factual.
It seems to be the logical consequence of a materialist/naturalist position, and many atheists are materialists.

Quote:Every theist that ever lived is beyond guilty of blind faith in entirely unsupported assertions.
As above re: evidence, that depends on who's defining support.
