    Chris Scanlan Atheism The problem Atheists have with Theists and the premise of God‚ a Being who is all good‚ omniscient‚ omnipotent and eternal‚ is that they believe that since science and the world cannot prove that such a being exists and since life seems to sustain itself without any external help‚ then this Being probably does not exists nor can this Being ever be proven to exist.
