I believe agnosticism is the only position that a true scientists can take.
In everyday life, we are constantly faced with situations for which there is no proof one way or the other. In such situations, we make a decision based on 'common sense' and/or logic.
It says in the babble that god created heaven and Earth in 6 days and, was so knackered, that he had to rest on the seventh day. So, we have this ever so powerful sky wizard that can create whole universes and yet needs a rest now and then. Does that sound believable to you?
It says in the babble that god created day and night on day 2 I think? Two days later, on day 4?, god created the Sun and the stars. So, we have a god that is so powerful that he can create night and day and yet doesn't understand light because he doesn't create the Sun until two days later. Does that sound believable to you?
It say in the babble that god created Man. Well, Man, as a biological entity, works, sort of, but the design ain't great.Let's put it this way, DNA wasn't one of god's greatest inventions. Does that sound believable to you?
I could go on but, on the balance of probability, god ain't looking a good bet.
Agnostics claim that there isn't any proof one way or the other that god exists. That's true. There isn't. However, based on common sense and on the balance of probability, there's more proof against god than there is for him existing.
For me, the only sensible position to take is Atheism. It's certainly the most likely and the most probable.
Dawkins. in one of his Youtube vids, though extremely reluctantly, states that he believes that the chances of god existing is less than 1%. I got the feeling from the vid that he only puts the odds this high is because he can't actually prove that god doesn't exist.
Yet, the majority of US citizens believe in god as do the majority of a so-called godless Europe.
