Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.

Fire-breathing dragons: large animals confined to earth. Would eventually be discovered as man explores the earth. Since man has explored most of the earth, reasonable to conclude that their existence is improbable.

God: not confined to earth. Cannot reasonably conclude from lack of observation that God's existence is therefore improbable.

I think fire-breathing dragons are more likely to exist on another planet than on earth. Where did you get your information that they're confined to earth. Not from Anne McCaffrey, that's for sure!

Such individuals (who exist) are known as agnostic theists.

Now that's a phrase you don't hear quite often. I wonder if they are a myth.

I was one for years, though for most of that time I didn't know that would be the term that applied to me.
