http://www.godlessgeeks.com/WhyAtheism.htm I read that article (it's a very long read, I'd just skim it if you're interested), and it said that having a God is not knowledge. A God's job is to fill void of lack of knowledge. The writer gave the example of the God that used to pull the Sun the around the earth on his chariot. We discovered that the Earth goes around that Sun (dispite what 13% of Americans think) thanks to a gravitational pull giving the appearance of the Sun going around the Earth. That void of knowledge was fillled, and suddenly there was no need for a God to do that. Interesting quote from the article: “Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course, or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course; but we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time; it is, therefore, at least millions to one, that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.” — Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)
