Atheism has nothing to do with science. Atheists are people who do not believe in god or gods. The burden of proof is on the theists. No one has to be a scientist or even understand anything about science to be an atheist.
Evolution has nothing to do with atheism. If evolution were proved to be 100% wrong, it would not move us one step closer to the probability of a god existing. There is no connection at all between evolution and the existence of a god.
The “germ theory of disease” is demonstrable. You have an infection, you take a drug, the infection goes away. WTF are you on about? Perhaps you don’t understand how the germ theory works. You need to watch that video I posted for Tin Man.
Addiction is a “chronological” (That can’t be right) (Neurological?) What’s not neurological? I’m not sure that calling anything neurological is saying anything at all. And calling anything neurological has nothing at all to do with the germ theory of disease. You are bouncing around all over the map here. I also reject your division as I am sure there are believers who understand the neuroscience of alcoholism.
Atheists don’t make claims based on anything. When a person makes a claim, it is not based on their 'Atheism." It may be based on their scientific knowledge, their knowledge of psychology, their knowledge of theism, their knowledge of the law, their knowledge of secular morality, but NOT of atheism. Atheism is the absence of god beliefs.
You are confusing secularism with Atheism.
You mean the believer does not require “evidence.” It is a standard of evidence that is different. Not knowledge and not proof. Get rid of all your sciency crap, your evolution, your germ theory, your meteorology, (I don’t know how the weather got into this discussion), your chronological stuff (whatever that is), and just junk it all. Empty your brain of all this shit. It has nothing to do with atheism.
Atheism is a response to the assertion, “God exists.” The atheist says, “I don’t believe your assertion, can you demonstrate it.” Very simply put, “Without sufficient evidence, there is no reason to assume a relationship between this god thing and existence.” This is all there is to atheism. Nothing more. No science. No germ theory. No evolution. No psychology. No psychology. No philosophy. When a person who identifies as an Atheist engages in a Scientific debate he is engaged in a Scientific debate and not an Atheist debate. He is discussing scientific facts and not Atheist facts. When engaged in a Philosophical debate it is a Philosophical discussion and not an Atheist discussion. The atheist needs to take no position against theism at any time. Nor does the atheist need to engage in any scientific, philosophical, theological, meteorological, chronological, or … debate. The atheist only needs to ask for evidence. “Show me your god.” “Demonstrate your god to me in the same way I can demonstrate my hand opening and closing to you.” It’s simple.
The believer is arrogant because they assert things without evidence. Without reason. And then, they threaten the nonbelievers with Hellfire and damnation for not going along with their ploy.
We are seen as arrogant for simply not going along with their ploy. Asking for evidence is enough to be arrogant. Their god thing is not to be questioned.
New American Standard Bible
And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been stated, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
-
1 Corinthians 10:9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did and were killed by snakes
-
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight
The Christian god is not to be challenged or tested in any way and to do so, to ask for evidence is enough to warrant his wrath. No one needs science for that. All one need do is ask “Why?”
