<<Wrong. Please read the alt.atheism FAQ.>>

Here is the assertion: Dogmatic atheism is impossible. It is really quite easy
to prove this.

1. You cannot present an affirmative case.
2. You do not know everything.
3. Since you do not know everything, the possibility remains that something
outside your knowledge exists.
4. That something may be God.

Thus, unless you are omniscient and omnipresent, you cannot say definitively
there is no God.

So, if you are going to be a dogmatic atheist, you have to make your case. If
you refuse to, you're an agnostic. Nothing wrong with that.
