It's what we keep saying - atheism as nothing but the rejection of a claim is not a claim of any Thing that needs proving. All that we can possibly show is a world where no decent evidence exists for the god - claim that we don't accept. Negative evidence is all that we can reasonably be asked to present and that is pretty much all of it.

Yes, you keep saying it, but that does not make it true. Your definition of "decent evidence" is not just biased but entirely false.

I can’t believe this thread is on page 21! And for your information there is no such thing as negative evidence. You can’t prove a negative.

Yep. Atheism is a belief system despite what some people here claim. The anti theology is too consistant. The belief of what happens after death is the same Among the posters here. I could go on.

By your own statement, you have evidence which *can be taken as evidence for God. This is an admission that the evidence also *can be taken as not evidence for God.

Please describe the belief system and anti-theology.

A "belief system" is not necessarily the same thing as a "religion".

What evidence of God would be greater than that which is responsible for the existence of absolutely everything????? It may not be enough for those who want to add MORE attributes but it certainly would meet the minimum evidence making any claim of "no decent evidence" spurious.

Great. Present conclusive evidence that God is responsible for the existence of absolutely everything.

There is no such evidence. That's an opinion.
And that is what bothers me -- more than anything else -- about religion...when the faithful can't tell the difference between faith and fact.
