In reply to the discussion: Yes, I do have proof that god does not exist. [View all]LTX
(1,020 posts)premised on a misrepresentation of the position held by your erstwhile opponent, it's a fairly juvenile "joke." Like I said, there is nothing inherently wrong with the statement that science has not, and perhaps cannot, disprove god (or, in your phrasing, that it cannot prove that god doesn't exist). So making fun of this particular "constant refrain" from believers is rather like making fun of the scientific method itself. But then, maybe self-parody was the point after all.
As for the "willful and continued misunderstanding of the basic distinctions between empirical evidence, scientific theories, and logical proofs," it certainly seems at times to be as epidemic in the atheist community as it is in the theist community. The demands for "proof" of god, after all, seem to emanate from the atheist side of the equation.
I don't know, maybe I just find bumper-sticker snark an unsatisfying form of humor.
