I am wary of leaping to conclusions from such a weak position, namely, the full weight of Humakind's historical errors.

You are basically saying that because we have not found evidence of god yet we must just say 'he might exist' and wait until we do find evidence to confirm his existence (even though we probably won't find any evidence).
Judging by your logic we should say there might be pixies, and yeti's, and little red riding hood, and bigfoot etc. We don't have the knowledge to dismiss those mythical creatures do we? According to your own logic?
