well bill-you are perhaps right that most atheists HAVE considered that there might be a God but the fundy ones at least would think it unthinkable anyway.you present yourself as couteous and friendly so i am not including you in that description.


lighter-maybe pedantic but science does not say anything does it?.
when it comes to origins it is the scientist that speaks out of his prepropositions and INTERPRETATION of the data.

don-that their are competing faiths or that sometimes there may be hostility does not logically mean that none is right.
neither do i accept that religion poses the greatest threat.atheist / evolutionary believers have inflicted countless atrocities.
