Listen to say there is no God is making an absolute statement. That's like saying there is no gold in China. You would have to know everything about China go into every mine shaft etc. But if I found 1 peice of Gold in China I could say, there is Gold in China. You have made an absolute statement.
Did you even read what people are saying here? The vast majority of atheists do not emphatically state that there is no god. All we say is that there is no evidence for the existence of a god.

Which is at least partially why we don't make a statement like that.
Quote:You all pretend like your the "there is no God" expert.
Wrong.
Quote:You say prove there is a GodYes, the burden of proof is on YOU. YOU are the one claiming that some deity actually exists. It is then YOUR responsibility to support this claim with actual evidence. It is not our responsibility to DISPROVE your claim. If you don't understand this I highly recommend taking a college level course in Logic.
Quote:and I say prove that there isn't a God!
And here's creationist fallacy #3: "Prove that "God" DOESN'T exist!"
Sigh...
Okay, smart guy, prove that leprechauns don't exist.
It's nearly impossible to prove a negative. Which is why the vast majority of atheists DON'T say that "God" doesn't exist! Also, us being unable to falsify the existence of a supernatural being does nothing to strengthen your claim that the supernatural being is real.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
