Atheists & Agnostics

The existence of god(s) is a claim. Like any claim it must be adequately supported by observable and repeatable evidence. In the absence of such evidence, game over. God(s) can be dismissed.

Often, the disingenuous technique of "what if we find evidence" is used to try to bargain one down to agnosticism*. But that may be dismissed. All scientific knowledge is accepted with "what if" already in mind. For example, what if we found some evidence that the Theory of Evolution was fundamentally wrong in some way? The answer is we would accommodate the new evidence by changing the Theory, or discard the Theory in favor of a better explanation.

Science does not, and cannot, provide eternal truths. It provides the best conclusion based on the available evidence. Anything in science may be changed at any moment upon the availability of new evidence.

*Decided not to deal with the agnosticism issue for now.
