Everything you just said is all still based in "we can't really know." This has become a circular argument. As soon as you started going down this avenue, Jorge brought up Russell's Teapot, which still applies to everything you're saying. This is basic stuff.

I passed a church with a sign that said "god has no grandchildren". What's that supposed to mean?

If I were in charge of nasa, the first thing I would do is launch a tea pot into space.

Russell's Teapot simply tries to illustrate that the fact that we can’t disprove something is a very poor reason to believe it. I don't believe in God because we can't disprove it. I believe in God because at this point in time, it's reasonable to, knowing that i could be wrong.

You can never really know. It might be coffee.

I'd question what you define as "reasonable," but whatever floats your boat.

Also, I wasn't bringing up Russell's Teapot in response to your belief, but in response to every argument you posted.

So much for the idea that godless scientists can't be objective. The biggest finding to support inflation theory quickly demolished by two groups of scientists.

To be more specific: godless scientists can be objective when there is no clear public policy implication. ;)

Guys, god still doesn't exist. Nothing has changed. It's 2015. There has never been a more ridiculous time to think otherwise.
