It is. 'Who the **** knows', aka agnosticism, is a more valid stance.
I am open to the possibility, just as I am open to the idea that the
Invisible
Green Dragon created the gods and that the Underground Marshmallow People
are
running the world. These things are *possible* (when looked at from a purely
logical stance) but so grossly unlikely as to the point of not being worth
considering.
Heidegger asks the question "why there is something rather than nothing".

Even they manage to confuse the issue. In a few paragraphs they go from
"To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it
is a lack of belief in gods."' to "Agnostic isnt just a €śweaker€ť
version of being an atheist. It answers a different question. Atheism is
about what you believe. Agnosticism is about what you know."
For the militant atheists I reject the disbelief; rather they project a
complete belief that there are no gods. Belief is belief.
Some of it might be semantics. Do you KNOW there are no Underground
Marshmallow People running the world. Well, in general conversation I assume
you do. I hope you do at least! But on a deep philosophical level you cannot
be absolutely certain of it. You cannot prove a negative.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
