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 point which appears to have gone over your head (not that it needed to go very high) is that no one seriously debates those issues because of the overwhelming preponderance of evidence in favor of the event occuring. It has nothing to do with the numbers.
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.
No, unlike the multitude of beliefs that have been discarded due to a preponderance of evidence against such beliefs, no such preponderance of evidence against the existence of a Creator isn't forthcoming. The person who started this post wrote..

Hmmm why is it a theorhetical situation if you 'know' without a doubt god has never existed? Why not just inform us of the information and facts you have that lead you to conclude without a doubt God doesn't exist and be done with it?
Not surprisingly he hasn't responded because his knowing God never existed isn't based on facts and data.
Quote: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:Yup, there it is: "Many people still believe this, therefore it must have something to it."
