Default Re: Logically refuting atheism in favor of agnosticism

Yes, you can replace leprechauns and unicorns. That doesn't change the strength of the argument as it relates to God/gods.

Almost anything you can think up is logically possible. 2+2 = 10 is not logically possible though.

It depends on your underlying postulates. If you use the standard mathematical definitions of numbers, and addition, then no, 2 + 2 =/= 10. The problem, in my opinion, with all formal logic is that it requires a base of postulates, which by definition aren't proven. In this case you postulate that "Humans are not omnipresent or omniscent," which sounds likely to me, but isn't proven.
