Bullshit.  An atheist is reasonably likely to accept evidence ...
measurable, reproducible events would allow many atheists and agnostics
to re-evaluate.  Then apply Occam's razor to such evidence ... if the

reconsider.  Unfortunately, no such evidence has arisen during the
entire history of mankind.
