My problem with Atheism
My main problem with Atheists is that they are so certain that there isn't anything out there. I don't understand how someone merely human can make such declarative statements about the universe. We can't even get past the moon, prevent dying, create life, or any of the sort that nature has obviously ruled for so long, yet we think we gave absolute knowledge about the supernatural and theistic properties of the world? At least Agnostics admit that there is no way of knowing these things, admit that the human mind isn't infallible in its reasoning. So there is no empirical evidence of Gods or entities or supreme beings. Ok, have these Atheists ever condsidered the fact that what's observable to us isn't the only reality out there. I just don't understand how when there is so much in the world that people don't know yet, but we at least try to know, we can be so sure that things don't exist outside of the physical world.

I'm acknowledging the fact that there are different forms of atheism and not all of them necessarily deny anything supernatural. And maybe I have the wrong idea about Atheism, but the whole concept of claiming knowledge about the unknown seems just as naive to me as claiming you know there isn't life on other planets.
