    I disagree. As science goes, we must always remain open-minded, yet, the confirmation of a data point will only reinforce an assertion. An assertion such as, “There, still, is no evidence of the supernatural, such as a god or gods.”

    And even if we found “something” we’d have to define it. Perhaps it’s just some very advanced, powerful alien like a Q that appears god-like? That doesn’t make it magic. That just makes it advanced beyond our current understanding, and that’s not the same thing.

            Anti-theism is more about the opposition to organized religion, not opposition to the belief in god/gods.

                Atheism is the lack of a belief in god/gods. Anti-theism is the opposition to organized religions and the problems/threats they present to individuals and societies.

                    You’re assuming a much higher probability for an outcome in your favor than is likely given the available data. While I find your enthusiasm for your hypothesis adorable, I do not share it. “An invisible, omnipotent sky wizard did it!” has never been the answer to any of the great mysteries of science.
