I agree completely! A faith in Atheism would indeed

- Atheism may not require a totally blind faith, but simple
belief there is a Creator does not either.

Let's define it this way: either simple belief in no creator, or
simple belief in creator. Who posits the Creator?

Steve. Einstein looked at the _Physical Universe_ - which he
arguably understood in greater detail than the greater mass of
humanity ever will -

Methinxt you perhaps have jumped the shark here... deification
does not become him. He never 'got' quantum physics...
this is like a geneticist not 'getting' DNA. He was great, for
his time... but he was not the last word, by any means.

Atheism does require faith
though, because you can't prove a negative.

You just proved you weren't dead! Try again...

You're trying to be clever again.

Well? Should I stop? Being clever, I mean...

Yes, basically it's nice to believe in a big daddy... but
the wonders of Nature and the Universe are better appreciated
scientifically if you're searching for order and organization.
Our particular universe, for instance, is hospitable to DNA
and life. Most others would not be... slight fudging of stuff
like the electric charge would net you something absolutely
unlike what you see here, where matter can form stuff easily.
If this had happened, we would not be here arguing over it.

"Big Daddy"? Einstein was a

blah blah blah... Einstein farts dust. Was I referring to Einstein,
or to the mass of Believers, or was I only addressing Deists?
My assertion is that there is a human compulsion to believe
in a First Cause... this is because we are cause-finding machines.
Doesn't mean there is a First Cause, though... there just might
not be. Talk to me about the Uncaused Cause, Will.
