The "scientific" viewpoint, which I think is what is being argued for here, would be not to believe there is a god, without evidence. The last 2 words being crucial.

Here's another question...Would you not say that being an Atheist is a religious concept in itself.
The absolute conviction that God doesn't exist...isn't that 'Blind Faith'?
I have an absolute conviction that there isn't a £50 note at the bottom of my cornflakes packet. Is that blind faith too? Or simply "bleeding obvious"?
That God does not exist, I file under "bleeding obvious".

I can think for myself thank you very much. I don't need my hand holding.

However..a Kellogg's worker had just been paid on the production line and as he was talking to his work colleague the £50 he was going to go out on the piss with slips out of his pocket into a cereal box
It's billions to one..but the chance is there nevertheless;-)

And believing that is akin to "having faith in God".

What i'm saying is...you can't 100% rule it out...that's a fair assumption is it not?

Indeed mate, and if anyone wants to believe otherwise, it's absolutely fine with me. So long as they don't want to go around persecuting or killing people with different views or religions.

And my point is, there's an infinite number of things that you can not rule out, but we do rule them out because they are simply too ridiculous to waste any time on. I spend zero time considering whether John Travolta will be in my local this evening because I know he won't be. And I spend no time pondering on whether a god exists, similarly.
