Re: the atheist challenge
The problem using the Wikipedia def
Atheism, as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods[1] or rejects theism.[2]
is that the basis for reaching the athesit view start from exposure to a theist view .. therefore the conclusion reached , the atheism ,is based on looking at what the theist claims as the evidence for god and finding that evidence wanting . No evidence for the NON-existance is needed because they are never convince by the theist evdience in the first place . There is no absence to account for , you dont try to disprove something that has not been proven.
The problem is you cannot look for the hole made by the non-existance of god , if god never existed to make the hole .
What you need is a world where no one has even considered gods, then one person to float the idea , then you can look to see if there is any evidence for either existance or non existance .
