What I'm saying is that "I have no explanation for X event or phenomena" is not adequate justification for concluding "therefore, it must be god." Mostly because you could switch out the noun in the conclusion for any other noun and have precisely the same argument.
Quote:We can't see it... right?
Your dishonest oversimplified strawman of my position as "I only believe in things I can see" has been noted. That said, it still is an oversimplified strawman, something I think you know, given the length of time you've been on this forum.
Quote:Well......Do you believe in life on another planet, in another galaxy?
I believe that it's possible, even probable given the sheer size of the universe, but I don't think it's true yet. Why would I, without a reason to?
Certainly we do not know for sure if life exists elsewhere in the universe, but considering all the atoms that came from the big bang are everywhere it should not shock us at all. Not to mention like you said, the sheer size would make it a likelihood.
