Under such a circumstance the atheists claim there is no evidence of a Creator would be true. The claim there is no evidence of a Creator is false.Um, no, it's still true. There isn't any evidence for a creator, this is just one big argument from ignorance.

Too bad your conclusion isn't supported by anything. The only "evidence" of your hypothesis is the lack of irrefutable proof against it, which is not evidence at all, especially against something unfalsifiable.

Most atheists will always deny there is evidence in favor of theism because they like to marginalize theism as strictly a faith proposition.But it is just a faith proposition. Watch this. How about you subsititute "god" in your argument with "Flying Spaghetti Monster" or "Magic Pink Unicorn". You won't have any less evidence for them either.

But we'd be lying...and even if we were telling the truth, that would only support an agnostic deist position at best.
