Well, yes, but only in the same way that we can never know for sure that there isn't a
chocolate teapot orbiting the sun and therefor there is no right or wrong answer about
the teapot. |
See, this is where I disagree. I do know and respect where you're coming from having often used the phrase "purple unicorn" myself.
However, the concept of a god is a very logical conclusion to a very real question. One could even call it the "God Theory". I don't believe that it is the right conclusion, but the data doesn't invalidate the theory. In the case of the "Chocolate Teapot" or the "Pink Unicorn", these things are conclusions to nothing and we have data that would make such theories invalid. |
I see it like this, if god is omnipotent and omniscient, he must also be infinitely complex (and this idea is also argued by religious persons). Henceforth, it makes his spontaneous existence far less likely than the universe simply coming into existence, which has finite complexity. And what can explain complexity? Natural selection. What has evidence to support it? Natural selection. What can explain complexity but does not have evidence? God.
