It's certainly not the case. I have no idea. I could put forward a few possible scenarios, but I would have next to zero confidence that any of them are actually right. They would be "sensible guesses". And even calling them that is charitable.
Every atheist will have their own idea, or indeed no idea. In my experience, no idea is the prevailing state of affairs.
But you saying you "have no idea" is not entirely accurate, because you are vehemently certain that one theory (a supernatural element) is not it. So you do have some sort of an idea, even if that idea is just "definitely not God."
Or am I misunderstanding?
This is that 'atheism is a belief' shit all over again -_-
I don't know. I'm saying your theory is improbable. Not that it's definitely not it no matter what.
Not having a theory is not a theory.
Not having a theory doesn't mean I can't evaluate other people's theories. Ok?
