What's with the atheist 'evidence' movement lately? It's flawed in about a dozen ways and really should stop being used...
Here's an example: Does your father love you? Hopefully most peoples answer would be yes, but how can you prove it? Sure he can tell you, but what if he never does? Does that mean since he hasn't proven it with words you can conclude that he doesn't? You can measure by his actions sure, say he paid for all your schooling, bought you nice clothes, gave you money to go traveling with your friends--but does money count as a measurement of love? I would hope not. You can say that he was around a lot when you were young, being there is absolutely important, but how can you prove that he actually wanted to be there and didn't feel that he was in jail all those years and hated it?
You can't, you just have faith that he does love you.
I'm an atheist, but I am for my own reasons, and lack of evidence isn't one of them... Calling the rest of the world stupid for believing differently is ignorance in its truest form.
