However, one thing that does prevail is the misconception that the atheist is an educated person, who is informed totally, bordering on omniscience, and - at no stage is it possible to, after being atheist, become a theist.
​
If someone could come up with a rational idea that shows that a God or gods could logically exist, then I might possibly become a theist, but there would have to be overwhelming evidence.

THIS IS WHY we don't place our faith in theories. For GENUINE logical reasons!
​
I don't place faith in theories, but I accept theories as the best explanation of the evidence until a better theory is found. That is what science does. All theories can be falsified if more or better information or evidence is discovered and this has happened numerous times

Re: Equal Points Of View?
The evolutionists are slaves to the science-beast. They are forced to use the scientific method, they cannot reason freely.
​
On the contrary, scientists using the scientific method have total freedom of reason, evidence uncluttered by myth or superstition.

Re: Equal Points Of View? Not hardly!
Does this sound like science to you? Does this sound like research?
​
Sounds more like indoctrination or totalitarianism.
