       If one can only consider the possibility that there's no God associated   
   with   
   Earth, and can't consider the possibility that there is, then the person can   
   only "have" the one possible belief. All that's in question is why so many of   
   you atheists are ashamed of the fact. Why are you, do you have any idea?
