You/we don't know, ergo god.
"We don't know where we came from, ergo god"
"We don't know that the romans didn't write about jesus, ergo god"
Reference something unknown (or more amusingly just assert that something is unknown regardless of whether or not it is), then conclude god. Essentially 90% of your arguments for god, so forgive me if I call BS. You're very familiar with the concept.
