If it can be, how can the "Absence of Evidence" be "Evidence of Absence?".

Razd, would you cease and desist if all we atheists just agreed that what most of us believe is: Absence of evidence causes us to have absence of belief ?I believe this is the majority of opinion among atheists, though I may be wrong. At any rate, this is my belief.

I will admit to no such thing as it is you who are playing semantic games! There is no evidence of deities of any sort and plenty of evidence to people making them up, possible based originally on more earthly origins, but still exaggerating and stretching the original events. The absence of evidence causes me to have an absence of belief, not that gods/deities don't exist (who knows?) just a reasoned belief that such things should have more than zero evidence if they actually exited. It's time for you to stop lying about our beliefs to support yours.Edited by kjsimons, : No reason given.
