[QUOTE="TimeWizardCosmo, post: 82106, member: 2"] I can logically demonstrate and reference evidence of forces at work that would account for many things people would attribute to "God", but no, I cannot entirely logically rule "him" out either. My point is that just because I can't explain some things doesn't mean that there's a magical entity responsible for them. Thousands of years ago people attributed volcanoes, earthquakes, storms and many other things to a God (or several) because they lacked understanding of those forces. This goes back to the "god of the gaps" argument I mentioned above, and the gaps in understanding that people choose to fill with "god did it" are rapidly closing. I too believe that there's a consciousness of some kind outside of (or a part) of our own experiences, but I have no evidence for it and thus need to remain open to the idea that there's nothing like that at all. Taking an atheist approach doesn't mean a person is close minded; it means that they have yet to encounter evidence that would convince them otherwise. [/QUOTE]
