| Is Atheism purely rational? |

Playing an online philosophy game (Battleground God), which tests the consistency of your believes, this is the only topic this game detected an inconsistency with me. The game proposed two questions:
The first question I answered with a yes, the second with a no. The game told me this is inconsistent, because Atheists think that because there is no evidence for a higher being, it is pointless to believe in it's existence. Well... I disagree with this game. The point is this evidence. In the first case the subject is part of our physical world. This monster we can see, touch and smell. If there is no evidence of a physical being, it is pointless to search for it. Of course, after searching enough for this evidence. A higher being is typical not part of our physical world. It exists in eternity, outside of our time. We're talking about a different domain. If we're searching for evidence in our own physical world for a being in an other domain and we don't find this evidence is it rational to conclude this being doesn't exist? No, the only conclusion van be that this being doesn't exist in our known dimensions. To speak with the words of Dostoevsky: 'Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle, but the miracle from faith. If the realist once believes, then he is bound by his very realism to admit the miraculous also.' (The Brothers Karamazov) Tags:

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
Only fools who believe everything came from nothing will say there is no evidence for a Creator.
Thanks for your comment. The problem with the evidence that you're giving is that you're using a Bible verse. If you're doing this in a discussion, all the participants must give the Bible the same level of authority. If the participants are Christian, like you and me, this s simple. It becomes hard if a participant isn't, for example an Atheist.
The quote I used at the end of my post is saying the same thing. If we look at nature and believe in God, we see the miracle of life, the universe and everything else. Someone without with a different belief-system will have or seek other explanations. These points you can discuss.
I think it's never a good thing to resort to a generic judgment, like calling people with different points of view "fools". I believe it is never the place for a Christian to give such a judgment. Leave such a judgment to God. Let us portrait love and respect.
