And you are just as irrational.
Saying "there is no god" takes just as much faith as saying "there is a god"
Both sides are making a judgement based on their own limited senses and knowledge.
It's also illogical to say that something doesn't exist because there is nothing that proves that it does. If you had lived in the 1800s would you say that atoms did not exist? What would you have done if challenged to prove it at the time?
What about viruses in the middle ages? There was no evidence that they existed at the time. Isn't it irrational to say that something that has existed for ages came into existence upon its discovery?
Saying something does not exist simply becasue there is no evidence that it does is an argumentum ad ignorantiam (argument from ignorance) fallacy.
I'm not saying that there is some sort of intelligent creation force, because like I said that would be just as illogical and arrogant as saying there isn't.
And no I don't know if there isn't a green zebra with pink polkadots that's invisible and intangible occupying the same space as either of us. There could be one that exists with a different vibrational attunement to its molecules for all I know.
