What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

Those aren't really words of wisdom, they're just an obvious ploy by an antitheist to dismiss theism without having to prove his stance. A rather weak ploy at that considering the fact that a hypothesis is, in essence, an assertion without evidence. If every hypothesis was thrown out without being tested because there's no evidence to support it then we'd never learn anything.

How about a couple from the relatively recently deceased Leonard Nimoy.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

That is the exploration that awaits you! Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.

Unless the atheist is a gnostic one, that isn't how it works.

Completely the wrong place for this, so my response is in your comment box.

Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
