So then, are you saying that we can just dismiss anything because of this?
If there is no evidence for "it", then, yes. For instance, I think that it is probable that ET exists, but if a systematic survey of the sky was conducted and no evidence for ET was found, then, yes, I would conclude that ET may simply not exist, even though ET is completely a natural phenomenon. If god exists, what expectations can we have for the existence of such a being (or, beings)? You are of the mindset that there can be no expectations whatsoever, and for you, that's okay, but for me, it's not. I cannot see how your belief in god is any different than believing in fairies.
