Firstly, the definition of faith is belief without evidence. So it is folly to say that someone has 'faith' in science, because science is a system based on empirical observations, reasoning, and 'evidence'. Science put us on the moon, gave us cars, medicine etc. It is impossible to argue with these results. You are correct that you cannot prove that god doesn't exist; atheists only assert 'their belief' that god does not exist based on the lack of evidence for such things. Furthermore, you also cannot disprove that there is a teapot orbiting the sun or that there is an invisible unicorn in the room with you right now. Arguing with Christians is useless because logic and reason do not work on them. If they had logic and reason, they would not be Christians in the first place. The goal of arguing with Christians, for me, is not to stop their belief; my goal is to merely point out how unsound and ridiculous their beliefs are in order to give them some food for thought which may manifest itself in a new world view somewhere down the line.
IIN that I think its stupid for Christians and Atheists to argue?
