Yeah it appears you are dumb. It's your mistake, acknowledge it if you have any decency, so we can make some progress.

You people don't even know what proofs are convincing for you. All you know is : Oh this is peer reviewed therefore i should endorse it to look smart. Big names doubt God therefore I should suspend judgements because it's cool.
Very bad epistemology students.

Okay, what about : what kind of proof would convince you of anything existing ?
Still don't know?

And your stance is the laziest one. Any guy who picks an answer (i.e. endorses some religion) is more honest/courageous with himself and with what he sees around him than the batshit answers : I don't know I don't believe I don't care I don't I don't .. fuck that.
It's like refusing to make mistakes in class just to look cool. It's always dishonest and lazy. What we know so far about the universe sufficiently warrants a purposeful explanation.

And you are engaged in a blatant ad populum fallacy.
You are laughable, sir. Would you seriously wait to find out if like the whole neighbourhood tells you your house is in danger ? What about some TV breaking news specifically telling your area to fuck the hell out ? would that count as ad populum too ?
There is no ad populum involved since we're talking about signs and warnings, not formal facts. It's sick that you wouldn't even consider the signs of design/order around you as meaning something.
