(135,425 posts)We're at what is called an impasse, and all the cute pictures with 'meme print' on them aren't going to change the fact that no one coming down on a side, be they atheists or 'deity worshippers' can prove a gosh-darned thing. They can guess, assume, figure, use the best information they currently have available, but all they're doing is using those tools to firm up their belief that their view is the right one.
About the only one sitting pretty in this argument are the agnostics and the guys who say their religions are all about getting in touch with nature and remembering ancestors and things of that nature--they don't have anything to prove, because they are not claiming to decisively KNOW anything! The deity worshippers AND the atheists both claim to have all the answers.
