I honestly think atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method. What I mean by that is, what is atheism? It’s a statement, a categorical statement that expresses belief in nonbelief. “I don’t believe even though I have no evidence for or against, simply I don’t believe.” Period. It’s a declaration. But in science we don’t really do declarations. We say, “Okay, you can have a hypothesis, you have to have some evidence against or for that.”
@shortstories why don't you believe in Zues? Odin? Ra? Or a thousand other gods, goddesses, spirits, and demons?
If you were born in India and raised as a Hindu, would you have chosen to become a Christian because of some "truth" found within Christianity instead of worshipping a six armed elephant?
Does Christianity even align with your values as a person? Are you merely conforming to a group? If you found out they were a Satanic cult, would that even bother you?
1 A god could exist and be a horrible sentient being by the moral standards most humans choose to judge. A god being unethical would not disprove the existence of a god.
2 Gary Habermas provided the best reason to believe Jesus rose from the dead based on historical documents that I have seen. There are reasons to believe in the Christian God described in the new testament if you believe in history. But I do not believe in history.
3 Agnosticism is more logical than Atheism
