yup.

You can play the probabilities, but saying they absolutely cannot exist simply isn’t scientific.

Also OT: Lol, that stupid Flag thread is still drawing nutjobs.

A little more.

An agnostic says we can never really rule out the existence of a god because we cannot logically prove a negative so I will live my life as though there probably isn’t such a thing, but I’ll reserve a bit of space in my mind for a god just in case.

An atheist says we can rule out the existence of a god even though it is not possible to logically prove a negative because the preponderance of evidence shows a god is not only not necessary but not possible given the physical laws as we understand them. I will not bother reserving that bit of space because it would be a waste. However if the evidence changes, I will then make room, but the evidence will have to be spectacular and overturn all previous evidence against. I do not expect that to happen.

An atheist is closer to science than an agnostic.
