But how come you all seem to be so adamant about the fact that the universe had no creator. I'm not saying "god" as it implies a man made creation. I'm just trying to say some indescribable omnipotent entity could exist and there is no proving it one way or another. So why do atheists "believe" there was no possibility of a greater entity. Wouldn't the lack of belief mean you'd have to say you don't know and so far there is no way of knowing. Maybe I don't fully understand what atheism is.
Well as much as i like it when someone answers my question with a question
I understand your point in proving the fallacy of the biblical god but that's not what I'm talking about. The simple answer I have to your question is no. "God" doesn't have arms, a body or can even be comparable to any type of life as we know it . I think you'd have to be irrational to think god has any viable effect on our space and time. I mean miracles do not happen.
Basically I'm trying to argue that from what i've read here most atheist seem to have a belief that no "god" exists and it seems contradictory to the statement that atheism means a lack of belief(and i use the "god" term loosely)
But please correct me on what you think atheism means if i indeed have misinterpreted
