Atheists (who claim to be pro-science, by the way. This will be important) claim that lack of evidence is evidence in itself for God’s non-existence. But that is completely contrary to the scientific method. Evidence is evidence, not the lack of it. They are not pro-science in this case.
...with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Matthew 7:2)By the "lack of evidence is evidence in itself" reasoning they cannot be God-excluding atheists since there is a critical lack of evidence that the Universe created itself, while the weight of evidence weighs in favor of their being a supreme supernatural intelligence behind it - at the least.
