What Is The Positive Evidence For Atheism?
Or do you guys operate on blind faith? If evolution is the positive evidence for Atheism, then Christian evolutionists are the biggest fools on Earth. If evolution is not positive evidence for Atheism how rational is it to ignore the fact that all of you are evolutionists? Of course we know that all of you are evolutionists because evolution supports your worldview. But you cannot admit publicly without embarrassing so called Christian evolutionists. Ray

Is that like asking what the positive evidence for not believing in the tooth fairy? Jar: I was talking to Atheists, did you forget that you are a Christian? Ray

How do you have positive evidence for something not existing? So you operate on blind faith, and have no positive evidence to justify the existence of your worldview.
All of who? All atheists? That's certainly not true. All of us evolutionists aren't all atheists, either. Who are you talking about, exactly? All Atheists are evolutionists, not a matter of opinion. What else could they be? Your blue box intentionally confuses a simple point: Atheism: "we have no positive evidence" (but just ignore the fact that all of us are evos). Ray

The lack of verifiable and repeatable phenomena that can be found to resolve beneath investigation of said events and the emerging pattern throughout history of the once theistic explanations falling within the purview of scientific study and subsequent explanation. No, you have misunderstood: this topic is about the positive evidence supporting Atheism worldview. Since you are not dumb and you knew the subject matter I will interpret this commentary to mean that in your opinion Atheism has none; therefore your life, being an Atheist, is based on blind faith. Ray
Atheism: "we have no positive evidence" (but nevermind the fact that all of us are evolutionists).

I'll widen my reply: the best positive evidence for atheism is the depravity and hypocrisy of believers of all stripes. Okay, I'll accept this as positive evidence for Atheism. As far as Christianity is concerned we explain the same depravity as corresponding to the Biblical claim that each and every person is under the control of the world, the flesh and the Devil. But, however, the degree of Christian ultra-goodness throughout the world as manifested in our care for the needy and sick, and a wide variety of positive social causes, for no other reason than to help (non-profit) refutes this evidence handily. Communist-Atheist regimes and the Holocaust in the past century show objective persons how wicked persons can be who have no spiritual compass. Conservative estimates say Atheists murdered at least 100 million persons in the previous century. Of course these regimes are the first time in history that Atheists ever got to rule (and look what they did armed with Darwin's theory). By the way, how many hospitals have Atheists built to care for poor persons compared to Christians? Ray

SNIP....I have no positive evidence, because none can exist; instead, it's the negative evidence that supports atheism. There's nothing faith-based about that. Thanks for the objective honesty in admitting that Atheism has no positive evidence in your opinion, but operates on blind faith. Of course you have just contradicted yourself about as much as any Atheist ever has since you have argued voluminously in previous topics that the evidence for evolution is positive evidence for Atheism. Has your view changed or do you wish to amend your position to harmonize with your previous messages?
Well, for instance, the people who believe that life on Earth is the product not of evolution, but of intelligent aliens seeding life throughout the universe are atheists, nominally; but are most definitely not evolutionists. Yes, they are evolutionists, how ridiculous. Are you saying they reject the modern theory based on a crackpot biological First Cause scenario? Francis Crick, a space alien advocate (LOL!) was a hardline evolutionist, Crashfrog.

Reread the OP. Found nothing limiting it to atheists. So... Is that like asking what the positive evidence for not believing in the tooth fairy? Jar: since you claim to be a Christian, your position on the OP question is, in relation to evolutionary theory, predetermined. You MUST deny evolution to be positive evidence for Atheism because if you do not then you are the biggest fool on Earth OR, you are a "closet" Atheist attempting to undermine Christianity as a "believer." Since you hold no objective Biblical or Christian beliefs, you are an Atheist on sight. Stop insulting everyones intelligence. Ray
Evolution is the alleged positive evidence for Atheism

What, pray tell, is an "atheism worldview"? I understand both words being used, but in this context it makes no sense. Atheists are not a united group of people with some common ideology to form a 'worldview' we are similar in our lack of belief in deities, but similarity does not make an ideology. This topic is for educated persons, please leave (I said please). Ray

The fact that God himself has sent this delusion to us. God wouldn't lie, after all. But you do not believe this because you are an Atheist. Atheists reject the existence of God. You are citing the Biblical explanation of Atheism. Ray
Atheism: "we have no positive evidence" (but just ignore the fact that all of us are evolutionists). Why do Atheists refrain from saying that evolution is the positive evidence for the Atheism worldview? Answer: because that would expose so called "Christian" evolutionists to be fools or closet Atheists attempting to misrepresent the Bible deliberately.

I asked a simple question. I won't play the insult games. If your behavior is tolerated here, then I will gladly leave. A silent call to have a Moderator obtain some satisfaction (in your behalf) since your intellectuality failed. Not only are you a female, but you are also a troublemaker and a spoiled brat. Ray

I have two post-graduate degrees plus a PhD - I guess that makes me educated. what's the atheism worldview? The fact that you claim not to know refutes your claim of being educated. Ray

We did have a topic very similar to this not too long ago (Proof for God's Non-existance?). That topic is now closed, but it does have a lot of points addressed here and there. Maybe folks would want to make sure they don't simply repeat that thread? Thanks for pointing this out.
The atheists will never be able to show you positive evidence for no-God. Why? Because it doesn't exist. Excellent point. But, however, evolution and its objective intent is the alleged positive evidence for the Atheism worldview. This is why all Atheists are evolutionists and it explains why they rabidly defend and support said theory.
Instead, they will use sophistry to convince you of such malarkey and impossibilities - i.e., they will begin arguing like Biblical Fundamentalist. It really does become quite sad. Another excellent point. I have always argued that religious Fundamentalists correspond to Atheists in that both groups are conducting the same business on opposite sides of the street. Ray

Because it's not. This is the answer of an Atheist denying that evolution is positive evidence for Atheism. First, just overlook the fact of a substanceless one-line and illogical three word denial. Second, it is refuted by the fact that this person is an Atheist-evolutionist and therefore it is not a matter of opinion: they support evolution because they believe and know that if it is true then their worldview (Atheism) is supported. Why would an Atheist-evolutionist deny evolution to support their worldview (and by implication say that it supports the existence of God)? Answer: what choice do they have since that would make Christian evolutionists the biggest dopes and fools imaginable. Instead, our Atheist-evolutionist chooses to bear false witness brazenly and insult everyones intelligence.
It is positive evidence that Genesis is not literal history, though. Then the Text is not God inspired (as per the claim) but man-made. Atheist admits that evolution claims to refute the existence of God and that the same is positive evidence for Atheism worldview. I retract the observation that our Atheist-evolutionist was bearing false witness. Ray

It seems to me that it's considerably more accurate to say that it's based on faith that our senses allow us to correctly perceive the world around us and that our minds allow us to correctly reason and come to conclusions about the world around us. Given this faith in our senses and our reasoning, we conclude that a complete lack of evidence in the existence of god is sufficient basis for concluding that there is no god, just as a complete lack of evidence in the existence of pink unicorns is a sufficient basis for concluding that they don't exist. I thought you were a Christian, have you converted to Atheism recently?
Now, if you wish to take the contrary position that either our senses do not allow us to accurately perceive the world around us, or that we cannot accurately reason and come to conclusions about the real world, you can certainly do that. But that's not nearly the same thing as saying it's all blind faith. Instead, it's saying that our faith in our senses and our reasoning is misplaced. We can then get into a discussion about whether that reliance is reasonable or not. But you cannot continue to claim it's all blind faith without exhibiting a staggering level of intellectual dishonesty. Christians make the same claims about 'senses' and their positive effect as evidence. Your comments, if I am understanding correctly, says Atheists reject sense apparatus. This is false. Everyone relies upon sense apparatus to evaluate the world and evidence. I am probably misunderstanding you, though. Your commentary, if I do understand it, is what philosophically trained persons call 'rhetoric.' It sounds good but it dodges the question by arguing that the generic apparatus that all worldviews rely upon to justify their worldview (inner 'senses') is not positive evidence. No, that is a subjective and predictable assertion or like I said: it is the misuse of logic known as rhetoric, the tool of lawyers, who we know are professional liars. Ray
