Interesting contribution but:
What is the evidence of Life? The result, or the Truth that it is? Why is it that Life has to have a beginning or an end? Since the Truth prevails always.
For the Truth seeks not to deceive or trick some one into believing it, by out witting the none believer. It is what it is, and need no man, to be what it is. But for man’s sake is the Truth of God for human existence revealed in human existence that those who would trust the Truth of God for human existence, in human existence may be partakers thereof. Hence the resurrection in Jesus Christ. The result of the Truth of God for human existence.
You’ve written a lot of words but said absolutely nothing. If you can write in plain English rather than philosophical waffle, then please clarify the point you’re trying to make.
But on the other hand, since the world view of atheism exists in spite of the fact that science does not have any known facts or actual evidence for the actuality of atheism (which is to say that science has no proof that God doesn’t exist), atheists have the impossible task not only of proving a negative but also of proving that believing in no god is a viable alternative to believing in the Eternal God.
You’ve got it completely the wrong way round. It is YOU, the theist, making the
positive claim that God exists. The atheist, by definition, merely disbelieves this claim because it comes with no supporting evidence. To demand that atheists prove the non-existence of God not only demands the proving of a negative (you got that bit right, at least), and not only fails to understand what atheism (at least, dictionary atheism) is, but also completely ignores where the burden of proof lies.
Can you prove that Zeus doesn’t exist? I doubt it, but I also suspect you don’t believe in Zeus. Can you tell me why not?
And the only way, as far as I can see, that atheism can be presented as a viable world view is if atheists can prove that every single religious belief system in the universe is false or erroneous, which is something that they cannot do.
No, nor is it encumbent upon them to do so. I suggest you go away and learn something about the subject, before making such ridiculous comments and exposing your ignorance.

They also cannot get around the fact that suicide is more common among atheists than it is among any theists of any religion in the world. Hardly a commendable consequence of atheism.
A complete non-sequitur. To suggest that suicide is a “consequence” of atheism is either plain dishonest, or illustrates a spectacular lack in ability to think critically.
But it’s telling that more and more theists are having to resort to such disingenuous and idiotic fallacies in order to try and justify their outmoded superstitious belief in fairy stories. Even if it’s true (you don’t cite a link), and even if there were a proven
causal link, that says nothing about the truth of the claim, “God exists.” Nor does it say anything about the individual reasons for suicide. Do religious people commit suicide less frequently because they’re happier, or is it just because they believe that God will punish them for ending their own lives? Or are their other reasons? Are you talking about “jump off a bridge” suicide, or assisted suicide in the suffering, terminally ill? Or don’t you care?
You (shock, horror) appear to have drawn an unwarranted conclusion from the statistic you claim.
I’m bemused by your horribly tenuous grasp of causal logic, but encouraged by your desperation!
