The most important reason anyone is an atheist

On one side you guys say that (physical) science is the benchmark for evaluate whether theories are good or not but when you are presented with a scientist that say that God exist then you say that this is no evidence.
I don't think you understand what the phrase "cherry picking" means. Your comment is actually accusing "you guys" of having a double standard. In any event, those statements do not contradict. If physical science is the method by which claims are evaluated, then the claims of a scientist would be evaluated by those methods. If he cannot produce a compelling case, then there is no reason to believe his claims. That is not a double standard.
enrico Wrote:Whatever case i would present you wouldn't believe anyway.
The case you have presented so far is not compelling, and I have yet to see you present anything other than a "science" defined in such a way to make clear that it isn't science. Based on your posting history, I would agree that whatever case you present will likely fall flat, and I am unlikely to believe it. That's what happens with bad arguments.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
