If I were an Atheist

[Drew_2013]

Dystopia,

True but there are lots of things which only have circumstantial evidence in their favor, theism is a belief not a fact.
As a law student what I learned is that circumstantial evidence isn't counted because it frequently leads to unfair conviction of the innocent

Must be your first year. Many criminal cases where the level of evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt are tried on the basis of circumstantial evidence and have won convictions. People have been convicted of murder without a body in some cases. But the circumstantial evidence has to be very convincing. This matter isn't a criminal case the level of evidence is a mere preponderance of evidence meaning just more in favor of a proposition then not.

True. But why are there any laws of physics never mind specific ones that allowed for the existence of planets and life?
You tell us Einstein

Because it was intentionally designed by a Creator.

Your belief that we shouldn't offend or bash other people's ideas is what promotes the creation of hate speech laws that jail anyone who dares to criticize other people's sensitivities.

My belief is you would reach a more receptive audience and you'd have a better chance to express your ideas.


Pocaracas,

So what if my mind cannot grasp just how things came into being?

That would mean you lack belief in any explanation that might account for our existence.

Atheism is not a belief.

Actually it is but saying it's not doesn't help the cause. Even if you define atheism as a lack of belief it means you lack belief the universe and humans were caused by God. You don't deny the universe exists therefore you believe some non-god explanation is responsible for the existence of the universe even if you think matter always existed. You're not going to be silly enough to say you lack belief in God but nevertheless believe God was responsible for the existence of the universe right? Of course not, due to your lack of belief in the existence of God you don't believe God is responsible in anyway for the existence of the universe.
