Religion is a hypothesis.

Quote from OPTIONAL777:

"It is the duty of the claimant to prove the claim."

Fascinating...

There is no proof of a big bang, there is no proof of macro evolution, there is no proof of so many things the atheists claim...

Strawman. It is you making the extravagant claims about supernatural beings, not atheists.

And by "prove the claim", I meant to a reasonable person's standards, like in a courtroom. Many things don't need "absolute" proof to be believable, but they nonetheless need evidence.

Where is the evidence for your god? Why are you so afraid to explain why you believe?

"It is the aim of science to establish general rules which determine the reciprocal connection of objects and events in time and space. For these rules, or laws of nature, absolutely general validity is required — not proven."

Albert Einstein, in Science, Philosophy and Religion, A Symposium, 1941.

The "big bang" as described and claimed was a supernatural event...

It was not a natural event, as nature (a major part of the universe) did not exist...

"And by "prove the claim", I meant to a reasonable person's standards, like in a courtroom."

...uhhhh, sure you did.

LMAO...

Now science has been reduced to a jury's opinion...

Too freaking funny...

Quote from kut2k2:

You are a liar. I've already answered your question. If you don't like the answer, tough.

It is not my job to come up with evidence for YOUR belief. That is your job.

If you can't , just man up and admit it. Don't hide behind the fact that intelligent who don't share your particular superstition don't bother to play your childish game of "Disprove it."

It is the duty of the claimant to prove the claim. I don't believe in your claim because you cannot or refuse to prove it.

I don't believe in your Creator. That doesn't mean your Creator doesn't exist, it simply means, as you've been told before, that there is no logical reason to believe in it. No evidence supporting belief.

If I said your god doesn't exist, then you could reasonably demand evidence supporting my belief in its nonexistence. But since neither I nor anyone else (including you) is expected to explain why we don't believe in things for which there is no evidence, your silly little thought experiment is exposed for the sophistry it is.

Extremely odd how you refuse to provide evidence for your belief, but demand that disbelievers make your case for you.

Very childish and illogical behavior.

Odd how you still demand this "convincing evidence" but are dumbfounded and perplexed at defining it.
TRY AGAIN
 
Quote from Index piker:

They pretend to worship at the feet of the scientific method but run away like vampires to sunlight at the thought of actually designing the conditions that would actually refute their hypothesis that "there is no God" on at least a personal experiential level.

This is where your argument completely falls apart.

Most atheists don't hold your strawman hypothesis that "there is no god." We simply maintain that your god is unimportant because there's no evidence-based reason to believe it even exists.

You seem to be incapable of understanding the difference between not having a belief in existence and having a belief in nonexistence.

Sad.

Why are you incapable of defining the evidence you would find acceptable?

No where near as odd how you still refuse to provide any "convincing evidence". One could reasonably assume that you have none at all, and that you believe in your god for purely childish reasons.

Why are you incapable of accepting the answers you've been given? More to point, why are you incapable of providing any evidence at all?

You are merely playing a semantics game and EVERYONE I MEAN EVERYONE KNOWS IT INCLUDING YOU.
I simply ask you what proof, evidence etc etc would you accept to change your assertion on the subject?
