I suppose it depends on one's epistemological standards. I don't think either camp has reached that bar.
I don't. When every indication is that there is nothing there, and every new method of searching always comes up empty, it's more rational to say "I know there's nothing there" than "I know there's something there".
That's not to say that the former is a correct statement, or that it is a wise assertion, but the two are not overreaching to equal degrees.
That's why I'm as sure as as is possible to be sure that there is no god.
