If on the other hand i am correct then there is reincarnation and a possible God that look after the running of this universe.
Just to clarify: the science of human psychology and how the brain works has nothing to do with atheism. It's just a field of study. It may well eventually reveal all of the secrets of the human brain, and I expect that if this happens we won't find gods or spirits. But the research is not dependent on that. Same with evolution and how it works (which you seem to lack considerable understanding about).
And sure, if you are right then there is a god. If that other guy is right, that god is a specific god with specific plans that might include you spending an eternity in hell. If it's that lady over there, that god is a pantheon of gods with whom you will spend eternity in a great dining hall, drinking mead and eating sentient meals until the end of time. And so on. There are endless varieties of gods and spiritualities and people do not seem to tire of creating new ones or modifying existing ones. But there is still only one way that we can reliably know things for sure, and you all admit that it doesn't work for your belief system. Until you come up with something that actually works, I guess we'll be stuck watching the spiritual variety hour until the universe's last light finally blinks out.
"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."
