I generally think debates on God or religion can go nowhere -- at least when
they are between atheists and theists. However, despite my gut feeling not
to add to this debate, here goes...:)

I disagree. I think to have a belief in something, one must have a reason
for that belief. Absent a reason, then the belief is unjustified or unverified.
So, if there is no data -- a claim a disagree with; the universe is here, that
is data enough for atheists to claim "This is what is." -- there is no reason
for a belief in God. Thus, theists must offer some other argument or come
up with data.
