    How most dumb people reason.

    I have no personal experience of this thing, so it must mean it’s not real.

    If i dont know, nobody knows.

    you are now banned from Atheist Memes.

      People aren’t atheist because they have no personal experience proving the existence of a god.

      Atheism isn’t a belief system.

      The lack of evidence for a god is why atheists exist.

      Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

        Atheism is a belief system. It is the belief that there is no deity.

        The scientific approach is agnosticism. In the absence of evidence, or what one considers evidence, the scientific answer is “i don’t know”.

        Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

        And a lot of what we consider to be scientifically proven, are theories, which are subject to constant change. The best example probably being atomic models and how rapidly they developed in the early 20th century. However that Bohrs atom model of circular movement of electrons around the atoms core was succeeded by more detailed models and the circles being disproved, doesn’t mean Bohr was any less of a scientist or evidence based researcher.

        Meanwhile except for very few physics experts we all just accept that orbitals are the best approximation we have right now, because we read it in some book.
