YawWWwn!!!
As pointed out already, the argument from ignorance is pointless and wasteful...and such a fuuuuucking bore!
Hitchens understood the arrogance of those who exploited our ignorance and used their doctrines, derived from their holy books to fill all the gaps in our understanding with their god, thereby impeding all efforts to bridge them with facts - all the better for the power of the con job from the pastoral pulpit!
The proper conclusion, when you don't have the information which is required for a scientific conclusion of fact is never "Goddidit", but "I don't know". If there are gaps in your understanding of your world, then that means you are learning something - keep them free and empty until you have better answers than the shitty shotcrete of anybody's god.
