I don't feel like arguing but you are totally wrong for the reasons I said above
this is an apples and oranges comparison. you're starting with a known and an unknown and trying to draw parallels. it doesn't work
THAT IS NOT ATHEISMAgnosticism is. Atheism requires can require just as much zeal. Being adamant that something doesn't exist is just as irrational as believing it exists without concrete evidence.
Otherwise, we'd still be thinking the world was flat.
Then scientists that do research are also irrational.
It is irrational to think there will be a cure for AIDS.
It is irrational to think there's life on other planets.
It is irrational to think that a man can run 100 yards in 9.5 seconds.
It is irrational to think that gas will hit $5.00/gallon in the states.
No, advances in medical science bring it closer every day.Then scientists that do research are also irrational.
It is irrational to think there will be a cure for AIDS.
No, given the number of potential planets, solar systems, galaxies and local groups in a universe that a few dozen billion light yeas across it's far more irrational to think that life is so rare it only developed here.It is irrational to think there's life on other planets.
Considering it was done in 1906 it's not that irrational.It is irrational to think that a man can run 100 yards in 9.5 seconds.
There's plenty of evidence suggesting it will.It is irrational to think that gas will hit $5.00/gallon in the states.

Edit: In response to 100 yard dash..
there's rumor that fox might not renew him at the end of his current contract which is up in a year or maybe a little less
Speaking in 2009 onboard a pricey Mediterranean cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon described his attempts the previous year to link Obama to "socialism" as "mischievous speculation." Sammon, who is also a Fox News vice president, acknowledged that "privately" he had believed that the socialism allegation was "rather far-fetched."
"Last year, candidate Barack Obama stood on a sidewalk in Toledo, Ohio, and first let it slip to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to quote, 'spread the wealth around,' " said Sammon. "At that time, I have to admit, that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched."

I meant meters.
Quick question.
So, would it be an incorrect conclusion to say that we know various ancient cultures existed based on things we have found in writings, scrolls, and ruins? And those things we have found would be considered evidence of their existence?
