You're actually jumping the gun just a little bit. You're right to say that atheist don't believe in a god, but any atheist with a scientific bone in their body knows that the "god hypothesis" is still possible. Therefore, most atheists believe there is no god because it is so highly unlike; much like yourself and me. Also, the "god hypothesis" is sort of a special case because it's nearly impossible to disprove or prove the existence of such a being. In this way, the hypothesis because almost untouchable in a scientific light. |
