Christ on a cracker, another one of these? Oh the glory of simply saying, I can neither confirm nor deny. Atheism and theism mean the the lack of belief in, or belief in a god/s respectively. No one can completely dismiss the existence of anything, however instead of retaining an infinite amount of possible entities, on a scientific basis we have to at least categorize them by probability. Can you imagine marine biologists going out to tag hammerhead sharks, while looking for the elusive leviathan? That isn't how the world works. People can make casts of big feet all they want, but until they provide a carcass or live one, bigfoot doesnt exist. Should we hold off on passing judgement until no one believes anymore? Is there any purpose to that? 1000 years ago, everyone believed in dragons, did that make dragons more likely? Not at all. Lose the superiority complex dude, actually read definitions. I do not believe in X is not a claim of knowledge. I don't believe in a lot of ridiculous beings that humans have made up, and I am just as comfortable saying that a god is just as likely to exist as a leprechaun. Until someone proves otherwise, both are equally bunk.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
