I don't think proving the absence of something (a god) requires the same level of proof as the definite proof of something (a god). Long time since I did philosophy or logic, but surely the basic starting point is that NOTHING exists and you then start from there - ie I'm Pink therefore I'm Spam - the basic proof of the existence of processed meat. Judaism or any of the tiresome offshoots, Christianity, Islam, Moronism, 7th Day Adventist etc etc all define a very detailed existence that the followers slavishly accept. Atheism starts at the point that extraordinary beliefs require extraordinary proof. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
