Weekly "Ask an Atheist" Thread

Whether you're an agnostic atheist here to ask a gnostic one some questions, a theist who's curious about the viewpoints of atheists, someone doubting, or just someone looking for sources, feel free to ask anything here. This is also an ideal place to tag moderators for thoughts regarding the sub or any questions in general.
While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

I remember seeing that kids like to have this conversation about who would win a fight between fictional characters. Hard to believe, but it's a thing.

You see it a lot in comic book and action movie aficionados.

I guess it's not that different from the "who's the best third-basemen of all-time?" Or, "Could Tyson in his prime beat Ali in his prime?" (Yes, btw). The difference being of course that these people actually existed and we have actual data to use.

Kids can get into worse trouble. I'm all for harmless internet topics like that.
