Aithiests are too lazy to research properly.
If they bother to reaserch properly one day they will come to the conclusion that God is a possability and then their faith that we are all issued with by god will take over.

Atheists believe that there is no god, that everything happens randomly by natural causes.

Atheist's often like to change the meaning of Atheism, to be an absence of belief in God, rather than a belief that no God exists. The distinction may seem subtle, but it makes a big difference. The thing is, the moment and Atheist is faced with God in any way, it can no longer be held that their Atheism is an absence of a God belief. They are forced to adopt the stronger definition of Atheism, that they believe there is no God.

I'd perhaps recommend reading a writing by Antony Flew (once a highly recognised Atheist, now scorned by Atheists for abandoning his Atheist faith

) called The Presumption of Atheism. Paul Copan has also written a piece I'd recommend reading, perhaps afterward: The Presumptuousness of Atheism.
