I assert only "I do not believe"[ due to lack of evidence] I make no claim, explicit or provisional. I concede the possibility of error without qualification. The LIKELIHOOD of error is another matter entirely.
Argument from incredulity I know but,my thinking goes along these lines: Seeing no one has proved the existence of gods in the entire history of the world, I feel confident that such proof is not imminent.I may be wrong. There MAY also be the remains of civilisation a billion years old buried a mile under the surface of mars. Or not.
That is true. I accept that.
