Thought that is true, to keep in line with Christian apologetics, it also often seems that atheist don't feel the need to provide answers.
Just because questions is the atheist strong suit, and answers the theist strong suit, does not mean that there is not valid question or answers which could be found in either argument if the effort is put.
Part of the reason it could be very tough for theist to feel the need to ask questions, is that they believe in something they are themselves in process trying to understand, which can be seen as a lack of faith to question.
I actually think the theist argumentation is quite similar to the atheist one, when it comes to truth.
Both theists and atheist tend to make up their mind about what they WANT to believe, before they have the evidence to prove it. And then they just look for evidence within what they already believe to reaffirm that choice.
This is why it is rare to see either argument progress much.
For most theists do not feel the need to question their beliefs, but most atheists don't feel the need either to question their disbelief and seek evidence for belief.
This is one of the biggest reasons I came here. For I am tired of all the lies and false claims on these subjects, which tend to turn to personal attacks before there is evidence or a valid argument because most people are extremely insecure about their position.
I think this is also why there is so much hate, fear and intolerance when it comes to these differences.
For fact is that whether you believe in God or not. God has NOT been proven or dis-proven. So a true scientist should be open to both possibilities while doing their out most to find evidence.
Maybe we will never know, maybe we will know when we die.
But to question owns own belief is not just a fault of the theist. I do not know many atheists who questions evolution, the big Bang or their confidence that there is no God either.
