You're not claiming that God didn't create the universe then? If you genuinely don't know and have no bias you can't be refuted only schooled in the ways of God, and then you'll come to a life changing understanding. Unless you resist but you can only do this by making the counter claim which is what you're really up to. You put up all these smoke screens and play around with words.
You have made a claim but have provided no evidence.
I have made no claim about the origin of the universe.
I have made no claim other than stating the lack of evidence.
You really don't understand the concept of 'burden of proof', do you?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
