B_M: "GEORGE!! Hope to see you back around more!"-I may not be here for long, just felt the atheist position needed some support. -B-M: "And thanks for a nice counterpoint. However, I do disagree with the statement that rationalists and atheist demand that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof. After all, Dawkins is quite happy to taut that there is no God and that we all crawled out of the primordial muck, neither of which as proof any more than the idea that a God exists and we were all created it."-On the contrary, the idea "that we all crawled out of the primordial muck" - or to put it more positively, that we are all formed of star dust - is a proposition for which there is overwhelming evidence.-The idea that there was some supernatural input to the process is where there is no significant evidence.
