Ah yes, the 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' defense. If you actually care to know why this is absurd when it comes to your god read the linked article.
Quote:That is the situation with the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. Until recent times, absence of evidence for his existence has not been sufficient to rule him out. However, we now have enough knowledge that we can identify many places where there should be evidence, but there is not. The absence of that evidence allows us to rule out the existence of this God beyond a reasonable doubt.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victor-ste...82169.html
