Why I am an Atheist

Oh, you all might want to look up "Thought Terminating Cliche" and consider Zahlanzi's post in light of that concept.

Getting back to my original post, no one has ever proved that anything was ever caused by god, whereas one by one many things thast were thought to be caused by god have been shown otherwise.

faith.

if you aren't satisfied with this word, you don't get the difference between science and religion

Because then you raise questions such as:

Does God exist where there is no star/sun?
Where exactly is that border between sun and not-sun?
How can this hypothesis help us create fusion power plants?

And most cripplingly...

Is this hypothesis falsifiable?

EDIT - And by Occam's Razor, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics is a better theory than Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Plus God.

No such questions are raised unless you flatly fail to understand the meaning of 'the physical universe is an attribute of God'.

The good news is that it makes absolutely no difference to your work as a scientist, so you can cheerfully disregard God.
