Richard Dawkins says "What if you're wrong?"
#10
RE: Richard Dawkins says "What if you're wrong?"
Atheism as the lack of believe in god(s) (weak atheism) cannot be wrong on the existence of gods in the real world since it only reports about personal belief. A schizofrenic weak atheist might be wrong about what (s)he reports on personal belief, but that's an odd exception. You don't believe me? Try being wrong in formulating for yourself what you truly belief.

A strong atheist can be wrong on the existence of gods in the real world. That doesn't mean that all theisms are true. Probably most of them will not be true.

A theological non-cognitivist can be wrong in stating that the evaluated god concepts lack coherence of statement which doesn't mean that necessarily gods exist but only that some coherent formulation of specific god concepts is possible.

In short the negation of atheism does not equeal theism.
Reckon that.
