They demand all the answers to life, death, and everything in between in a nice, compact (if utterly nonsensical) package. Lack of certainty makes them incredibly uncomfortable, as witnessed by Huggy (either in this thread or another) going so far as implying that science's self-correcting mechanism is a flaw rather than a boon.*Emphasis mine*
That's why they demand we come up with answers to all these things. They see atheism as a competing idea, and if it can't address all the things their religion addresses, then it's incomplete and therefore wrong. But that mentality simply illustrates that they don't really understand atheism at all. What it is, and, more importantly, what it isn't.
"I don't know" is a perfectly reasonable answer. And, frankly, no atheist needs to provide a counter explanation to whatever it is a religion claims. Atheism is a lack of belief in gods. It itself makes no claims about life or death or morality.
What are you talking about? What defines faith is fact that one DOESN'T KNOW. It's funny how you guys don't know until you get backed into a corner, you NEVER lead with it. It took 8 pages for someone to admit the 'don't know.
As far as self correction being a boon, if you had clock would you rather it was always correct or would you rather it be self correcting? Assuming you're not stupid I'd like to think you'd go for the clock that wasn't consistently wrong.
The Bible doesn't need self correcting because it isn't wrong, which is why I challenged any of you to debunk it scientifically and none of you could do it.
If you want to continue to maintain that the above isn't true then post a link like I've asked you to do twice already, but you seem come up with every excuse to not do so, yet have no problem finding a UFO video and posting that.
