We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.

There is so much we don’t know.

And that’s it.

From what we do know, so far there is no evidence for the supernatural.

It would be dishonest to use this as reasoning that there could be a higher being, just as it would be dishonest to reason that there is NO higher being.

The honest position is, “I don’t know, but let’s find out what we can.”

If 96% of the universe is outside of our capability to examine, then how can you assert that a god must exist in that 96%? You're just as in the dark as we are.

I use the design around me to conclude his existence.
A non-believer should do the same and admit that they are also following a mere conclusion.

And both of us should wait until God rules between us. I say he's there; you say he's not.
That is said to both believers and non-believers; btw.

I don't say "God doesn't exist," I say that I an unconvinced by arguments for his existence.  You've been here for years, you should at least know the positions that most atheists take.  I don't see design in nature, so I don't use that to conclude anything about a designer.  You're making an assertion about the un-examinable 96% of the universe based on faulty reasoning, and expecting that to be compelling?  Sorry, I think you're just as ignorant about the universe as I am, only I don't go making assertions about the unknown - since it's, y'know, unknown.

If your argument is "wait for God to come prove it," then why bother making threads at all?
