Yes, and cancer is also really important to those that have it.
Not when someone is using such a super-vague, nonstandard definition of “God”. It’s like the occasional person who tries to define “God” as natural law; they’ve “proven” that there is a God by warping the term into something completely different.
No evidence? What about the universe and all the thigs we don’t know?
Are you going to make a god leap and say, “God did it”?
You worship ignorance?
Your egos have gotten the best of you. Mankind does not even know a measurable amount of all the knowledge to be had about the universe and you are calling me ignorant. Relatively speaking our greatest minds and a cockroach are not too far apart in the area of ignorance.

No, no; the thigs did it. Some kind of large insect I think.
Relative to what-figments of someone’s religiously infected imagination?
edited to add: If you have information as to the existence of your god that we do not, please present it.
Relative to be all knowing about all things.
I am not religious and base my beliefs of what I consider to be pure logic and not ego.
“Before the world was, I am.” <Jesus, before the Sanhedrin, from one of the gospels, where Jesus made a positive claim to divinity>
“I yam what I yam” <Popeye, a cartoon character, making essentially the same claim>
Popeye has just as valid a claim. Neither one is given any credence.
Which means what, exactly?
Other than “What sounds vaguely profound but will fit on a bumper sticker?”.
I’ve seen Popeye.
You know exactly what I am talking about, when man can say he knows all their is to know about matter, energy, space, etc he may then have a right to claim their is no God. The claims of an athiest are beyond grossly premature and purely egotistical in nature.
When do we get to claim there are no invisible pink unicorns?
Well, humankind is certainly not all knowing about all things, but we have learned a hell of a lot more than we used to know in so many areas of knowledge in the last few decades. Archaeology, medicine, science, and the universe you mention, we’ve learned a lot.
And the more we learn, the more real truth we find, the further away it pushes us from a fantasy of a god.
This is a good thing.
And I’ve read Jesus, before the Sanhedrin, in Greek, and Hebrew. Guess what. It has about the same validity as Popeye. Actually, Popeye has more…
Nobody actually called you ignorant. But saying "there’s lots of stuff we don’t know, so, God!’ is not an argument. That’s a total failure of logic. That’s why I linked to the logical fallacies site.
Do you believe that there are monsters in your closet when the lights go out? Do you know what your closet contains when you aren’t looking directly into it?
As far as atheists being egotistical, we seem to know something you don’t.
The ability to say “I don’t know, yet” when we don’t know something, instead of looking into the darkness and stating as fact “Here there be [del]monsters[/del]God.”
