And how do you know God is not ineffable? — 3017amen
Aren't all metaphysical theories unsupported/incoherent/illogical? — 3017amen
why do you feel the need to contribute anything on this subject matter — 3017amen
my thought is if you were content, you would not be interested. But then the more I'm thinking about it, maybe it's your innate sense of wonder that's causing your curiosity — 3017amen
necessary consciousness (some people say necessary Being) — 3017amen

Atheism does not address the question "Does god exist, or does god not exist".
It addresses the truth-values of theism, starting first with it's sin qua non fundamental claims on reality.
Theism is false, therefore god does not exist. Inexplicable "Gods" with no claims/predicates are irrelevant to atheism.

By the way, atheism has zero connection to evolutionary theory. — Terrapin Station
That's not true — Ron Cram
Yeah, it is true. Atheism only refers to the lack of a belief in gods. You can think that evolution--or even all of science--is complete hogwash and still be just as much of an atheist. — Terrapin Station
