    Why? Is discovery by deduction so hard to accept?

    I don't give a rats ass and you are right I don't see why atheists care. You shouldn't give a rats ass what I think either. But you can't you NEEEEED to convert. So get off your high horse.

    How about an eyewitness account? :D


    Actually, what I was inferring is that there have been events throughout history that don't seem to have a scientific explanation, or cannot be resolved logically within the physical realm. Under those circumstances, 'wider' possibilities can be considered, including Intelligent Design, and other deity-based options.

    Ultimately it still boils down to a choice of what to believe, but the degree of open-mindedness of the individual can be beneficial, or a detriment if taken too far (or not far enough). And that goes for both the religious and non-religious alike.

    I suspect that there may actually be more "agnostics" than atheists, per se. Ultimately, one asks the question of "How does one know the unknowable?"
