Is atheism foolish?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Lying is a sin.

I don't believe in sin.

You sure preach enough.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Theism is foolish. Theism is irrational.

But I like being a fool.

You succeed in every post. Stupid of you, but your path to perdition is your own choice.

Remember, there was a time that the human mind could not fathom quantum mechanics.

"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.” - Richard P. Feynman

In actuality, I made no claim that humans completely understand QM, only that we fathom it.

In other words: we know quantum particles exist, the math that supports QM is coherent and elegant, QM explains many observations that were unexplainable with Newtonian physics, QM is often more accurate than Newtonian mechanics.

I learned yesterday that the Schrodinger equation does not predict the configuration of isomers, molecules with the same number and type of atoms but with different configurations. If a molecule is chiral we only ever see a left-handed version or a right-handed version, never a superposition of the two.  In other words, we can't reduce chemistry to physics.  There is no fact about something as basic as molecular structure when a group of atoms are allowed to interact in isolation.

Atheism is foolish in the face of such irrational opposition.

No. Not at all. By definition it's a misnomer but that only means people are idiots. They never say what they mean or mean what they say. In the same way theism, or more specifically theology is obtuse. Theism and atheism are ideologies. The science of ideas. Science is often wrong. Atheism and theism themselves aren't sentient entities. They aren't foolish, their adherents can be, often are, myopic. 

Atheism is a rational conclusion. Theism requires faith. Atheism should involve faith and theism should involve the rational. So neither atheism or theism are foolish conclusions, their just different.
