3+5+6+2+9+x+y+z=?
and most materialsts and atheists find it (and rightly so) more practical to eliminate variables that are also unknowable, thus:
3+5+6+2+9=?
Then they come up with just as unprovable a solution as we had with the variables, because not everything is yet accounted for.
x,y and z= might very well be 0 and I'd be in the same place you all are.
1-I postulate the at least x or y seems like soemthing real to me and I'm more stupid because of it?
2-Isn't removing a subset (or relationally removing any possibility of evidence that could change your equation) in an equation more limiting than allowing for their possiblity?
"Algebra of the Gaps"
You know these "of the gaps" arguments are more convincing when we don't have to first manufacture the gap to place our proposal within it. By "more" I mean "not in the least, but I can't help myself". 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
