Atheist: do you have absolute knowledge? No, in fact you couldn't even tell me how many hairs are on your left arm. The statement: 'There is no God' defines 'ATHEIST' and is an absolute statement that requires ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE. I believe it was Edison that said we do not know 1% of anything out there. But lets just say that the athiest reading this has a whopping 50% knowledge of EVERYTHING in the universe. That means you know what is under and in 50% of the moon rocks, 50% of all sea creatures, if we say you have 50% knowledge of EVERYTHING (which is impossible for you to have this amount) but let's say you do. Here is the question: Is it possible, that there is ample evidence for the existence of God in the OTHER 50% knowledge that you have yet to discover? If you are honest, you must say it is POSSIBLE the evidence exists cuz you don't have 100% knowledge! So therefore by the very definition, you cannot be an atheist, you are agnostic. You must now say you just don't know!
