<<Atheists for example, have an irrational
unprovable belief- but at least they are asserting a negative
instead of a positive- >>

X, I don't think it's fair to say it's irrational to disbelieve that a fantastical assertion without demonstrable foundation and whose claim to explain first causes contains gross logical flaws is untrue; I think it's what all reasonable people do every day. If I say to you that I am holding a nation in my hand, and the tiny workers of this nation built the world, you are not being irrational to say, "No, you aren't, that's just too fantastic for me to buy."

If millions of people went around making that claim, it wouldn't make it any more sensible than if I were the only one, either.
