And why should the existence of science disprove the supernatural?

Well, evolution does rather exclude the possibility of the literal account of the creation of humanity in genesis, so... It's not so much disproving the supernatural, as disproving specific supernatural claims that, despite being demonstrably wrong, are still believed by a startling number of people. I think that was the initial point, too.

Quote:If either I or atheists had better evidence we'd have put this question to bed along time ago. Even though some people promote the notion the Holocaust never occured or the US didn't land on the moon, no one seriously debates those issues because of the overwhelming evidence in favor of those events having occurred.

The fact of the matter is that, debated or not, there are still people who believe these nonsensical things. Why are you putting an upper limit on the number of people who need to believe in a proposition for it to become justified? That's just an argumentum ad populum.

Quote: There have been a multitude of beliefs previously held that have been discarded because of a preponderance of evidence against such notions. If there was as much evidence against belief in God as other abandoned beliefs the majority of theists would abandon belief in God also.

Yup, there it is: "Many people still believe this, therefore it must have something to it."

Quote:Belief in God is not strickly a faith proposition or an irrational belief. I wouldn't characterize the belief we owe our existence to mindless non-god forces as irrational either, nor would I say there is no evidence in favor of such a belief, but that's because unlike most atheists...I'm reasonable.

You're so reasonable that you stick to the same demonstrably false statements about secular beliefs as to the cause of the universe, despite having your falsehoods pointed out to you time and again through numerous threads. Hmm...
