If you cannot know anything for certain, I guess you wouldn't even know how good your probability assessments are. So while you might think that one thing is more probable than another, you really don't know. So while you may think that it is more probable that God does not exist, you cannot even say this with any certainty as it might really be more probable that God exists (speaking from within your own worldview).
