Atheist: Don't Fall Into A Theist Trap

Atheists usually challenge theist arguments as being "God of the Gaps." While this is true, some atheists make a "Naturalism of the Gaps" faulty argument. How is that, you might ask? Well, aren't theists making positive claims that there IS a God when using "God of the Gaps" arguments? When atheists make positive claims that all reality IS natural, they are also guilty of speaking out of the confines of what is known. The only justified answer to theist's claims is "We don't know, but God is not necessary." See the difference?

• Making a positive claim that there is a God is assuming knowledge not justified. This is the "God of the Gaps" argument.
• Making a positive claim that all reality is natural is assuming knowledge not justified. This is Philosophical Naturalism.
• Saying "We don't know" to a claim that can't be falsified is Methodological Naturalism and is a major feature of the scientific method. Let's not give the theist any evidence of faulty reasoning.
