I find the strong atheist position to be as logically flawed as any theistic position.
We then differ on how we perceive reality. I understand it by constantly testing rational explanations in my head. This is the only tool I have. (Maybe theists and agnostics possess knowledge that I don't). For me, irrational explanations can never inform my understanding of reality.

What evidence would rule gods in? In my OP, I demosntrated that no evidence could ever "rule gods in." Therefore, if gods exist, we'll never know about it, unless we figure out another way of understanding reality.
