I'm not defending the epistemological possibility of a God; I'm critiquing the epistemological flaws in your own position. This is what so many atheists don't get. Your own knowledge claims have precisely fuck all to do with the position of other people. When criticised for calling their belief "knowledge" they come back with comments about religious people. Those comments are all completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what *you* are claiming to know, and I'm saying that I don't think that you have sound reasons for claiming knowledge of a fact that cannot be even close to be proven. You have a belief, not knowledge. Claiming you have knowledge of a lack of a deity undermines all of the knowledge we have gained from the scientific method. "Evolution is just a theory", uh yeah, but you're misunderstanding the word "theory". It's the same thing.
