Why not?

I don't believe in things of which I haven't been convinced. I don't believe in Bigfoot, either. I didn't decide not to believe in Bigfoot, but the evidence for Bigfoot is weak and since a huge primate living in North America without anyone being able to bring in solid evidence is implausible, it will take more than what I've heard so far to convince me. I don't see how me not believing in Bigfoot means I acknowledge the existence of Bigfoot, and I don't see how not believing in God means I acknowledge the existence of God. It's not God I deny, it's that the arguments and evidence for God provide sufficient support to justify rational belief in God. If Bigfoot or God turn out to exist, I'll be happy (though somewhat surprised) to accept that.
