Lack of evidence of existence plus the classification of the belief in God into the class of simplistic explanations of the unknown is indeed evidence, but is, by no means, proof. If you want absolute proof that God doesn't exist, well, of course, there is none. But if you believe in many things that there is no proof on non-existence, and at the same time there is no real evidence of existence, then perhaps you believe in alot of weird things, besides God. Prove to me that vampires don't exist. Show me proof that flying whales don't exist, you can't, but you don't believe in them either. The universe is full of mysteries, but to just up and say that God created it defies all logic. Anyway, if you assume that God created the universe and life, then you are assuming the existence of an entity far more complex than anything within the universe which that entity had the understanding and the ability to create. The question I then pose to Mr. Norris is, who/what created God?
