275. The problem is that "faith" starts with a presumption that there is a supernatural being.

This is a false equivalency: "It cant be proven that God doesn't exist anymore than it can be proven He does." That is exactly like saying: "It can't be proven that pink sparkle unicorns ridden by leprechauns don't exist anymore than it can be proven they do exist."

Why start with this presumption? Start with the assumption of nothing, as you would with anything else that you don't see, and then, if evidence presents itself, you can start to draw conclusions. For example, we've never actually seen the tiniest matter particles, but there is sufficient evidence for their existence and behavior to make some conclusions. If no evidence exists to prove the existence of something, then the default position is it doesn't exist. If evidence presents itself, you can change your hypothesis. So far no one has provided any proof that there is a separate, supernatural realm that doesn't obey the laws of science.
