In RAZD's message 4 reply to my message 1 at the "Percy is a Deist - Now what's the difference between a deist and an atheist?" topic: If I had it to do over again (and here I do) I would reply to that:The atheist believes that god/s is/are essentially unknowable, that all evidence points to the way the natural world functions as created, and all we can understand is how it works.Deism and atheism is functionally the same thing.I proposed a "Great Debate" to try to explore the above. My message 1 ended with the question: RAZD declined the "Great Debate", saying: And so it ends, leaving me at "Deism and atheism is functionally the same thing."Moose

At the Pseudoskepticism and logic topic: I post this message specifically about that statement. I certainly don't recall anyone ever claiming there is objective evidence for atheism. I don't recall anyone ever claiming there is any sort of evidence for atheism.Has anyone here made such a claim, or know of someone who made such a claim?Moose

Point taken. But I think the quoted statement does come up short of saying "there is objective evidence that God/gods do not exist", which is what I was looking for.The place to debate this further is back in the source topic. I will review that topic further and decide if I wish to pursue the point further. Others way like to do likewise.Moose
