I'm comfortable admitting ignorance, and I find that preferable to claiming knowledge I do not and perhaps cannot possess.
Thanks for saying so. I, also have no problem admitting ignorance. The older I get the more I realize I don't know.
It's a shame you seem to focus your questions only upon views you don't agree with. Ignorance, like intelligence, is an internal state of affairs. You strike me as someone who hasn't devoted this sort of questioning to your own beliefs.
Tell us what you know about your god. Not what you believe, not what you think you've experienced, but what we can look at with our own eyes and say, "yeah, he might be making a little sense here." Can you do that?
I doubt it ... but if you've got objective support for your god hypothesis like the abiogenesis hypotheses have support (in terms of autocatalytic reactions being observed, in terms of RNA evolution being observed), feel free to share it.
Until then, your questions, pointed as they are, seem very defensive, rather than pointed at expanding knowledge. "We don't know how life started, therefore my god started it" is not very convincing. I'd suggest you start by building your own case. And if you have no case, then at the very worst your hypothesis is no better than those you rail against, and from my own perspective much worse.
Give me evidence. Change my mind.
