Atheists don't call themselves "atheists" anymore--it's "Free Thinker"...

OK, so if science is their belief then how can they claim, "There is no God"? For starters, science requires that your hypothesis be testable, and there's no way to test the theory that there is no God. You would have to look for God under every rock in the universe to prove your theory. That's why science also dictates that "you can't prove a negative", yet atheists Free Thinkers base their beliefs on a stated non-starter within their own belief system, science.

BTW, I'm not an anti-science Neanderthal; I'm an engineer that makes a good living through science...by the grace of God.

” ....a freethinker does not mean a man who thinks for himself. It means a man who, having thought for himself, has come to one particular class of conclusions, the material origin of phenomena, the impossibility of miracles, the improbability of personal immortality and so on..”

G.K. Chesterton “Orthodoxy.”

I don't call them atheist either. I call them god haters. They express their hatred by claiming that the Lord doesn't exist.

I heard this about 30 years ago on the NPR show "Ask Doctor Science": What is the difference between a scientist and an engineer?
Scientists are bearded, balded, and are atheists. Engineers have crew cuts, wear glasses, and are Lutheran.
I have to laugh at this because it seems that half of the men at our church (WELS Lutheran) are engineers working in the auto industry. I live in suburban Detroit, by the way.
