Winn I wasn't going to get involved in all this (unless it's Friday, which it isn't) but I can't stand it any longer (sigh). 'Atheists have said they have proven all manner of things.' Well, what exactly have they claimed to have proved, and which atheists have claimed it? Atheists don't actually need to 'prove' anything, because there is not a shred of evidence that god exists in the first place. The onus is not on atheists to prove the non-existence of god any more than the non-existence of the ravening bug-blatter beast of Traal. Show me some real evidence and I'll think about belief. Although actual evidence would of course remove the need for belief in the first place... Wendy
