I also think theists shouldn't say "There is a god". The "I don't know" belongs on both sides. Because no one knows.
Some go about claiming why/how everything came about but I won't (I think it's that huge need/desire if you will to answer something we know nothing about). Because I think it's smarter to say "I don't know" than to go about making baseless claims.
The only reason I can say "I know there is a God" is because of an on going personal relationship with Him. I like what a man said once "There are three choices. Im a mad man, Im lying, or what Im telling you is the truth"
God is initiating a response from me almost daily, he corrects me for sin in my life, he leads me to hear certain teaching , he puts a deep desire in my heart for me to seek Him, he has brought so much peace and joy into my marriage. And He provides my needs abundantly! An example of this is the other day in wal-mart my wife and I are walking by these lava lamps and she says she wants to get one of those because she remembers having one when she was younger and 3 days later guess what? TWO BRAND NEW lava lamps in the box just sitting by the dumpster! What the...?
