Question for atheists...

[BeeDeePee]

Hang on, what point are you trying to make about claims like heliocentrism?

My point is that you can not say that you know God doesn't exist, because there's no evidence that supports that statement.

When things like this were discovered, it was because they were tested in some way. Anyone who believed that the sun revolved around the earth before someone had tested that fact was irrational.

So, any scientist who is setting a hypothesis (=probable explanation of some natural phenomenon) is irrational?
Also, saying that something is irrational says mainly nothing about the qualty of it. Many things that we all appreciate (like art) are irrational, and it doesn't make them bad.

But those were not metaphysical as empirical evidence is what proved their existence.

They are not metaphysical today, when scientists can use a lot of methods to test whether they are true or not. But they were metaphysical in the past when it was not possible.
