Atheists as Failed Prophets

The piece argues earlier atheists forecast that miracles would fade and science would reveal an eternal, deterministic universe with fewer free parameters; instead we got persistent miracle reports, the Big Bang, quantum indeterminacy, and fine‑tuning. It proposes judging worldviews by their intermediate predictive track records, where atheism’s ledger looks poor. Modern moves like multiverse appeals or fMRI‑based explanations are cast as post hoc repairs. — This reframes religion–science arguments around forecast accuracy, challenging secular prestige and inviting a prediction‑market mindset for philosophical claims.
