Spectrum of Theistic Probability - Dawkins Formulation
Quote:Dawkins argues that while there appear to be plenty of individuals that would place themselves as "1" due to the strictness of religious doctrine against doubt, most atheists do not consider themselves "7" because atheism arises from a lack of evidence and evidence can always change a thinking person's mind.

If an atheist told you they'd been abducted by aliens or claimed to be a famous person from history, would you class him/her as being sane, rational and realistic?
