Rabbi Moshe Averick, author of Nonsense of a High Order: The Confused World of Modern Atheism:at Algemeiner:

If a rational, truth-seeking individual is asked: “How did life begin; naturalistic, unguided forces or Divine Creation?” There are only two possible answers: (a) Divine Creation or (b) I don’t know, the jury is still out; but atheism – a denial of the existence of a Creator of life — is not possible anymore….unless, of course, as I stated in the title of this article, you are prepared to ignore science and scientists. And if so, you might just as well go and play children’s games and with children’s toys, like…..LEGO blocks.More.

Can anyone explain why atheists are so angry? They’ve no one to be angry with, so how does the anger come to exist?

A religious person can be angry with God, as was the prophet Jonah, who was stuck in a really crappy place called Nineveh, where God had not just fixed everybody good, the way Jonah had been hoping (because the people repented instead). But if one doesn’t believe in anything like that, well, … ?

I regretfully report that the Kindle version of Averick's book is not the same as the print version. But still... We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. - Dr. Harold C. UreyMung

Over at TSZ, commenter "Patrick" suggests that existence claims about God be treated like existence claims about sasquatch. Hunting party anyone?Mung
