They see no evidence, and have therefore concluded there to be no god.dreDREb13

Correct. They have concluded, therefore, have decided, and believe that no god exists. Semantically, this means a true athiest does indeed believe a god does not exist; and this is not the same as an absence of belief. ;)

I agree with magnax1, and would posit that the arguments against him are more likely the ad hominem fallacies in this thread. I would also note that atheist is a popular buzz word for, "against god", which is an incredibly popular sentiment amongst us here who rightly recognize other fallacies in what we view as our natural opposition: Illogical faith without reason. Magnax1 is correct, however, that semantically what most atheists claim as their lack of belief is actually, essentially, agnosticism. ;)

[QUOTE="whatrevolution"][QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"]they denied it...and still do to this day. :lol:t3hrubikscube

I "judge" them as pathetic for that. :D

Well, I suppose I would too, but they mostly do it in jest now.

That does make it less pathetic, approaching not pathetic at all. ;)

I stayed awake through the night and learned for myself. I didn't care, except that I grew a bit of cynicism from it.

[QUOTE="whatrevolution"][QUOTE="Hellsing2o2"]To me, believing there is a god, is no different then believing in the tooth fairy, or santa claus. If no one has ever seen him, or any evidence that proves he's real, why should I continue thinking he's there?Hellsing2o2

I would not argue against you, or in favor of such a belief. I would only remind that science consistently expands its known data by discovering things which were previously impossible to know until the means by which to discover the data was invented. Thus, common atheism is as anathema to science as common theism, because common (popular) atheism calls for an end to common theism; and it is only in theism that anyone will feel driven to continuously apply the scientific method to the question, "is there God(s)?"

I know what your saying. I really don't think anyone will ever be satisfied with any answer. Scientists are in the process of figuring out where the universe came from, but are held back by current physics. Even if they do figure out how the universe started, it's probable that no theist will be convinced of anything. The search for how life, and the universe started will probably be never ending.

This is why I often suspect that the root purpose of theism is to catalyze progress, as in, "ordo ab chao".
