I'm staying with a friend this week and she has a book about argumentation. Mostly I find the book to be vile because it's about "winning" a debate, not about seeking the truth.) One of the points is that your arguments have to be falsifiable-- what would your opponent have to prove in order for you to admit your theory is wrong?
I said this was impossible in the case of atheism. I don't think there is any "evidence" that could be presented that would make me a believer. I'd always be looking for a logical, explainable, repeatable cause for the seemingly mystical experience.
