What Is The Positive Evidence For Atheism?

Ray, can you give an example of positive evidence that there's no invisible demon under your bed? Or do you realize that logically there can be no such evidence?

Well, then perhaps you might use the time not spent sleeping by helping Ray find his positive evidence.

I strongly disagree with this: in a universe with a god anything can happen, the god can suspend the laws of nature whenever he pleases, so they aren't really laws of nature at all. That's a very different universe from the one where there is no god and where the laws of nature are immutable. Admittedly, if the god keeps himself well hidden from us and stays out of our affairs, his universe may well be indistinguisable from a universe without him, but in principle they are not identical.
