Actually, this is EXACTLY what Mags has been saying! We are all naturally non-believers in things we have never heard of. When evidence arises...
Have you ever wondered why flowers bloom? Then you have wondered about pillywiggins. You just didn't know what to call them yet!
No, I actually did not prove your point -- you proved mine. I have just introduced you to the idea of pillywiggins, therefore you must take a stand...
Not the point. The absence of something is simply an absence. Nothing more, nothing less. Do you believe in trolls? If not, do you identify as an...
The Blazers not winning means that they are winning!
Touché! Why can't you say you like my hat? :D http://www.metacafe.com/watch/an-Azeb4n27thbb4n/far_and_away_1992_joseph_and_shannon_fight_part_3/

Well, sure. It's a belief in the same way that I believe my mother loves me and I believe there is no such thing as the tooth fairy. I can't prove...
Again, be careful with your terminology. Not all atheists claim proof of God's nonexistence. Call it "weak atheism", or "negative atheism", or...
Well, you are certainly attempting to prove that it is unsound... I think you've received some very good reasons why these initial proofs are...
Absolutely. And (contrary to popular opinion, it seems) I think most atheists would agree with me that there is always a "could be" in there. And...
I think it's completely unjustified to call theists any more or less ignorant than anybody else. EDIT: On average, I mean. There are educated minds...
You are again lumping all atheists into the "strong atheism" category. Please get this straight: Abence of belief in something doesn't require...
And please, if you are going to cite one of the most important concepts in all of science, at least call it by its correct name! Calling it "thermal...
There are issues related to the closed vs. open system, but that is not what I am addressing here. You are moving off-topic here. You asserted...
