Of course you do.
Not until you, or whoever is making the proposition, demonstrates that "God etc" are things that exist in the first place. Otherwise the only option is to accept the existence of, literally, everything and anything that the human imagination can conjure up; from Ceiling Cat to the Invisible Martian Cheese Bicycles. That way madness waits in eager and hungry anticipation.

Because Professor Dawkins is a biologist, not a cosmologist or an astrophysicist. Besides, scientists are working on it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
