This implies atheism makes a positive claim about our reality, which it does not. Any atheist worth his salt will not say "there is no god" but "there is no shred of evidence that there exists what you (theists) claim to be god in any sense of the word". Thus, the burden of proof lies squarely on the theist making the claims.

The golden gate bridge did not appear out of nowhere, it was painstakingly engineered and designed, just like we are thats my "arguement" nothing more nothing less.

The heart of this exchange y'all are having is the idea of a first cause. Everything exists because something caused it. It goes all the way back to the big bang, which so far, has no cause to my knowledge. This fact leads creationists to say god did it, which in turns begs the question: what caused god? leading into an illogical and highly improbable infinite regression.

how would you explain what God is?.

Well to me a god or god himself is a superior being. A being that is greater then all beings in the world. Most gods have the same beliefs. Beliefs of peace, equality, justice and to do onto others as you want done to you...
So basically thats what i think a god or god is.

this is a cowardly stance to take. any PERSON worth his salt, can and will be able to explain and defend what he believes to be true.

i don't know who decided that this burden of proof argument was valid but i'd be willing to bet that they had a penis but peed sitting down.

anyway...

if you want a shred of evidence that God exists, look in the mirror.
then slap whoever told you he wasn't real.

I'll disregard your insinuations and have you take a look through this thread, as you can see when one starts talking about god you must start making shit up off the top of your head. I'll say it again, there isn't any single piece of evidence, nor has there ever been, that anything stated in here exists.

but yet you have FAITH that everything that is in the known universe existed in a space smaller than an atom? (big bang)

smh

really, in 2010 athesism is just as silly and outdated as a bearded man sitting on a cloud.

we already know that modern science cannot detect 95% of what we call reality.

why the hell would anyone base his perception of what reality on what science can prove is if they can only "prove" 5% of it?

science is on that multidimensional, entangled, unseen forces, quantum flip, new age shit. some cats are still stuck in the 19th century lookin for god with a telescope.

It has nothing to do with faith at all. All of the EVIDENCE points to this, yes.

That's 5% more than religion can "prove".

Science doesn't seek to find a god, just an understanding of our reality through observation and measurement, if debunking religious dogma is a by-product of such, too bad.

no.
latinos are.

you do have faith in the singularity. cause there is not a single shred of proof. NONE. ZERO.

science does try and is trying to find God. and in fact a large percentage of scientist believe in God.

i'm beginning to think that you don't even follow current science and are basing your perspective on old paradigms. show me why i'm mistaken.

Atheism is not obsolete, neither is religion.
The one thing that needs to fucking die is new age spiritualism and a faceless God who has no definite features.
It's vomit inducing to listen to people who sound like weeded out hippies talking about purpose and love and togetherness based on the warm fuzzy feeling they get when they do so.

Then again, I'm an asshole, so that has to be taken into consideration also.

what you call new age is older than both religion and atheism.

asshole.
