Topic for a future essay: why science and religion are not compatible, and why atheism makes more sense than agnosticism.

Here is the thesis:

The shred of possibility we must logically allow for the existence of a deity is no more than that which we must allow for any other logically possible event that nevertheless contradicts everything we believe to be true about our universe. These events, in general, make up the set of things in which which we do not believe. In other words, if the word "disbelieve" has any meaning, we must disbelieve in deities.
