My atheism does not make me superior to believers. It's a leap of faith too

11. You could discuss a horse's pimple but I doubt you'd find many willing to argue that with you.

(Wait, I do. PM if you want usernames.)

The one ancient and universal question is either "How did we get here?" or "Why are we here?"

That is the question(s) that remains either unknown or unproven by anyone, believer or non believer, scientist or theologian.

It remains a fair question today. The vast majority of other supernatural and religious (they are not the same thing) claims are secondary to that and are subject to natural evidence and have overwhelmingly been debunked.

Yet the paramount question remains, unanswered and unproven either way.

The problem I see, and one I think the OP suggests, is that many conclude that debunking the lesser claims, which are subject to proof, in some way answers the paramount unanswered question, which is not subject to proof. That is nonsense.

"I don't know" and "I believe" are both viable answers to the question, for a whole slew of different reasons and are, incidentally, not mutually exclusive.
