I agree.

I don't know why Thunderf00t could not rebuttal the argument about the knowledge of the universe. "99% of the unknown can contradict what we know about the 1%". Isn't this the fundamental idea of Atheism - that we don't know? If even an additional 1% percent of the 99% currently unknown becomes known, and that 1% proves the existence of god beyond any demonstrable doubt, would Atheism still exist?

And playing by the same rules, if the 99% currently unknown becomes known and it proves that God does not exist, would theists still cling to their beliefs?

The answer to both questions is a resounding NO!

BUT, our current levels of knowledge greatly diminish the probability of a god existing, so based on our current knowledge, we can safely assume that god probably does not exist.
