The Case for Atheism

[pocaracas]

You seem to be unaware that's often how advances in knowledge is often made. You create a model (sometimes out of whole cloth) that tentatively explains a phenomena. Einstien proposed something that seemed crazy to account for why time it took Mercury to circle the sun was slightly off. He proposed that time diliated. It was crazy and unthinkable...and true.

Ah, but Einie didn't propose those things just because the idea popped into his mind!
He "stood on the shoulders of giants", remember?
He did the math.
Math led him to those crazy ideas.
The only thing he had to postulate was that the speed of light in vacuum is constant... heck, he arrived at a place where he had a constant there, as all physicists, a constant is called 'c' (sometimes, 'k'). This constant had units of speed (m/s).... and he did start off with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic waves, so he was dealing with electromagnetic waves, AKA, light.
So it wasn't that much of a leap of faith to say that 'c' was the speed of light.

But you propose an explanation for something, with nothing to back it up, but your own "it's the only way that makes sense to me".
To us, the god hypothesis is one possible explanation for the start of the Universe, but it's not the only one...Until some actual evidence is found, no one can claim that one hypothesis to be the correct one, now can they?
And considering all gods' claims that have been shown to have nothing to do with the divine, forgive us if we don't put that hypothesis on a high ranking....actually, it's at a very low ranking.
Not to mention that it then raises the common questions about said god... where did it come from? how was it created?, etc, etc...
