It would be a shame if scientists all over the world bought into that. And they won't, because finding a good natural explanation for data is better than anything.
This is every deity except yours, of course.
Only an idiot would say that our physical view of the world is complete. Just think of all the homeless graduate students! Is it impossible? Maybe. There is so much to know, and such a limited amount of time to know it in.
Sure, I'm open. I want to believe in the rainbow bridge, hobbits, and ESP. I don't, but I want to. But why would I want to believe in the Christian god? Unless you hippie him up, he's a douche. Show me something to hang my hat on that doesn't involve tortured logic or word games, and I'll listen.
Sorry, these are the kind of things you have to be willing to do some casual independent reading on. Or youtubing, if you can't handle dam letterz.
Look here, if you're wondering if there are any challenges to science being the only source of knowledge: http://atheistforums.org/thread-21091.html The very second post is an astute observation. Natural explanations are not the only explanations out there.
For a start, you could try hanging your hat on being logical. We'll move on from there.
From the guy that came here telling atheists that they're being atheists the wrong way. Yup that's pretty logical. Not at all arrogant or stupid.
