    If there are things I know nothing about I simply say "I do not know" what has that to do with chance? I have no dogma to follow as you do, you cannot say "I do not know" you have to say "god did it"! You begin at the end with the foolish assumption that there is a god and answer based on that!

    Organized intelligent effort is lacking in your claims also, but you would never admit that.

    As for evidence of things unseen, I prefer to wait until mankind has found the answer rather than just accredit it to the sky daddy.

    Since I expect nothing else, I am fine with it.

    You, on the other hand should be soiling yourself at the prospect.

    I think we would have to discuss what "evidence" means.

    Let's remember that there are large numbers of scientists who are religious. The question is whether they carry out science while admitting humans don't have all the answers, or just jump to "god did it".
