[Atheism] requires exactly the same (merely opposite) exercise of faith [...] as it does to say there is a God.
Yeah, but...
(when I was a kid, anytime I said "yeah, but..." while talking to my dad, he'd look at me with wide eyes and say "yabut, yabut, yabut." It always made me laugh, but I still hated it :-)
...and keeping in mind the old adage about absence of evidence...if someone says to me they've developed faster-than-light propulsion, but they can't show me a single thing to prove it, can't even replicate the alleged act, then as far as I'm concerned, nothing's changed.
If someone says to me that there exists an all-powerful being responsible for the creation of the entire universe, but can't show me a single thing to prove it, can't even replicate the alleged act, well...again, nothing's changed.
