Religion might provide answers for those who choose not to question; philosophy only provides possibilities that often lead to more questions.
As I said, if they're only guessing, any guess is a good one.
If they say a 30% chance of rain, that covers them whether it rains or not. So I'm just as safe contacting a psychic and asking the same question ("will it rain in the next hour over the two miles of my trip?"). The answer is just as likely to be correct.
I did. But it wasn't actually at the end of a sentence.

The weathermen assured all of us watching that Charley was going to make landfall somewhere north of Tampa.
WRONG! Instead, it fooled those scientists and hit the very town I was living in, over 100 miles to the south.
Since science FAILED to predict the landfall accurately, why should I put credence in it?
You must be another one of those theists that would sooner choke to death than admit you are ever wrong about anything...I see quite a few of them here, even quibbling over meaningless minutia.
I'd suggest a little education. Try reading Stephen Hawking's 'The Grand Design' and you'll see that a deity, ANY deity, is not necessary for the universe to come into existence. But of course, sheeple are afraid of education.
The irony here is that except for parents' faith in God, a child with Hawking's condition would have been aborted. Yet here is this brilliant mind that does not even realize that the faith he denies is the reason he is here.

Aren't you special? Somehow you think you know that Hawking's parents considered aborting him. Why would they? He was not born with ALS, but the symptoms of ALS first appeared while he was enrolled at University of Cambridge.

Facts don't matter to the pious, it's the thought that counts.

What!?!?!
Besides the what sanspeur pointed out not all atheists would abort a child just because it had a chance of having a disability or disease.
