And to be honest, i feel that "I don't know" was never actually a productive position in terms of science and obtaining answers, it might be great at refusing to explain your own beliefs, but that's it.
"i bellieve/ i suspect/ i doubt" is actually the position that might benefict and enrich science and metaphysics.

It's already part of science.

I believe == It has been shown beyond reasonable doubt.
I suspect == I have a hypothesis about ...
I doubt == There is some evidence against that
I don't know == There is insufficient or contradictory data

Even without a god, i must say again, it's brilliant. Big Grin

I deny it. There is no good evidence of design.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
