But you do though? Our mentality is to look at evidence (or lack thereof), while your mentality is "I don't have the answers... so Islam."

Of course they are claiming to have answers. That's the whole point. I say I don't know if this reality was created or whether it's always been here in some form; and if it was created I don't know by what or why. I haven't the first clue, and I don't pretend to.

They say they do in fact have some of this information but are unable to demonstrate any of it to be at all true. I don't claim to know or even have beliefs about all these grand questions, and I'm perfectly happy with that. If you claim to have an answer, then don't even bother telling me if you're not prepared to at least try and back it up.
Feel free to send me a private message.
