Atheism, Evidence and the God-of-the-Gaps

[Randy Carson]

I think what Horn is pointing out is that if atheism is not falsifiable, then it is unscientific.

The point is that if the atheist GotG objection is true, then it proves too much.

You're joking, right?

I may be wrong, but please point me to a quote, any quote, where the lack of belief in a god has been called a science. It seems to constantly escape you, that lack of belief is the only defining feature between atheists. Emphasis on lack. It isn't replaced by another belief, which may be hard to understand for a believer.

Right. Because believers are idiots incapable of logic and reason. Given that fact, I hope you'll show some patience with me due to my obvious handicap.

And atheism is falsifiable. God only has to make a personal appearance like he supposedly did in the olden days and boom, falsified.

Really? How many atheists would later say that everyone who saw Him was suffering from some type of mass-hysteria? Some would argue that it was an alien taking advantage of our planet's pre-dispositions in favor of divine beings and pretending to be God.

But if not everyone believed the miracles produced by God in the OT days (think Pharaoh and Moses here), the NT days (ie, the Pharisees) or today, what makes it any more likely that everyone - you included - would believe after some future "magic"?
