Atheism, Evidence and the God-of-the-Gaps
#3
RE: Atheism, Evidence and the God-of-the-Gaps
Again, without going into the details of the above:

EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS REQUIRE EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE

Atheists usually don't make absolute claims. The only defining feature of atheism is disbelief because there's no evidence for god, any god. Obviously there are things we can't explain, but we don't feel the need to explain the unknown.

A few times I brought up that you're still a caveman at heart, looking up at the sun and the moon, not knowing what they are and since you're uncomfortable with their unexplained presence, you call them gods. That's what you're doing.

Not my invention, but it's pretty fitting for the situation at hand: Atheism is a faith in the same way as not collecting stamps is a hobby.
