You (ADAISYCHAIN) are making a statement that is very biased. Please tell us where we can find evidence that of a known atheist who makes the claim of being able to "know the unobserved". I may be wrong, but I don't think that any Atheists have said anything remotely like that.

Atheism takes years to fully grasp. I would suggest reading books and articles by the following masters of Atheism; by familiarizing yourself with their works you can better understand what it is all about:

Robert Ingersoll (an agnostic) http://www.infidels.org/library/hist...ert_ingersoll/

Madalyn Murray O'Hair http://www.atheists.org/visitors.center/OHairFamily/

the American Atheist website http://www.atheists.org/,

Chapman Cohen, http://www.infidels.org/library/hist...en/index.shtml

Bertrand Russell (mathematician) http://www.users.drew.edu/~jlenz/whynot.html

Frederich Nietzche http://www.primitivism.com/antichrist.htm

Joseph McCabe (GREAT stuff by an ex-Jesuit priest that formerly worked in the Vatican Library and had access to â??forbiddenâ?ť Catholic documents. http://www.infidels.org/library/hist...joseph_mccabe/
http://www.infidels.org/library/hist...ig_blue_books/
I have an original copy, printed in the 1930's or 40's, of this book: The Holy Faith Of Romanists, How Catholics Are Hypnotized About Their Weird Creed by Joseph McCabe (1867 - 1955).
McCabe was WAY ahead of his time - as were many others listed here.

We used to have to BUY all of the above â?? now much of it is totally free. I wish that I had been able to get these titles years ago without having to send money through the mail and wait for the mailman. It's nice to have a "hard copy", but many of these works are either out-of-print, or very hard to find.

Happy reading.
