I believe in a UK court of law the term is 'balance of probability'.
On the balance of probability there is no god.

Actually the likely hood of a god existing is extremely improbable.

I'm not certain of anything either.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
