Question: Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

A rational person can easily refute a flat-earther argument that the surface of the Earth is not curved. For a flat-earther, however, his (or her) argument against a curved earth, is convincing.

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

What does it mean when someone leaves something in your house, your room to be exact, and when you tell them, they say they left it there on purpose?
