A Question to Atheists

[A Troubled Man]

However, 'god works in mysterious ways' is often used to counter this proposition

That is merely a fallacy (Appeal to Belief) used by believers who are unable to explain their claims. What we're looking for are events they claim have or will occur based on the fact God MUST interact with the physical world in order for their claim to be valid.

If your definition of Atheism is merely "lack of belief in God," then when I tell you that God exists, am I wrong?

Not necessarily, but I would question you about the objective scientific and empirical evidence you have to back up this rather incredible claim about the universe.
And if you fail to produce any I would revert to the Null hypothesis, i.e. that you are, in fact, wrong until you can back up your claim.

We don't know if you are wrong or not. There is no evidence that you are right so I will not believe you.

Hahaha, I was not saying that I agree with the claim, merely that the claim of unpredictability exists and is valid unto itself; it is not however a valid defence for failure to provide evidence, only that by holding such a characteristic to be true results in an unfalisble theological position (to which I personally suggest the theological noncognitivist position is appropriate)
