Also, I have never said that a lack of evidence proves a fallacy. I have only stated that I am not making any claims to the existence of something without evidence and that the burden of proof rests on the claimant of such fantastical hypotheses.

For one, I hope you realize that your view of what it means to be philosophical is woefully incorrect. Take a philosophy class or two, especially logic, then try reconsidering you wording. You’re not talking about philosophy, you’re talking about opinion spouting masquerading as debate. And for peat’s sake, please look up the word “epistemology.” That’s about how we can know things (theories of knowledge) and should be of great concern to any science advocate. What you seem to be talking about isn’t epistemology but rather existentialism, or the questioning of one’s existence and meaning in the world. I get why you would snub your nose at the latter, but sure as heck not the former.

Also, please note that attempting to claim a lack of evidence proves something is a fallacy (namely argumentum ad ignorantiam, or an argument from ignorance) and holds just about as much water as the circular argument that Christians employ that the Bible is true because God says it is and we know that God exists because the Bible tells us so. Bad reasoning, no matter the goal or the result, is something we should all avoid.

How convenient.

Suggested reading: Darwin’s Origin of Species. Darwin began his journey as a devout Christian, but his observation of the cruelty of the natural world (among other things) convinced him that evolution was a natural process. It does not preclude a god – but it does make gods unnecessary and even difficult to reconcile with the facts.

The question of what gives life meaning is not answered by religion, either. The existence of a supernatural being does not imbue life with purpose. Life is more precious for being rare and brief than it would be if eternal life were everyone’s fate. To the question of what is the purpose of life without a god, Carl Sagan’s reply was “Do something meaningful.” Each of us creates our own purpose.

This is about as sensible as asking for the purpose of a snowflake. These beautiful things are created in their millions in some part of the world every day. They are created by a scientifically understood process which does not require the existence or intervention of a supernatural being. They have no “purpose”.
