None. Not a one. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
The next discovery that we can directly attribute to god --or any other supernatural force or being-- will be the first. Based on that track record, why would you claim that the atheist is making the error in expecting that trend to continue?
"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."
