Do you also admit that as far as you are aware, you don't know whether the moon is made of cheese or not? Because it's exactly the same.
and this:
Makes me very suspicious that you don't understand how evolution works. Among other things, such as just how vast the universe is, and just how many star systems it contains.Comment

This is the syllogism that you're presenting:
Some things we can't understand yet.
Things we can't understand yet we say are the work of God.
Therefore 'God' is shorthand for 'we don't understand'.
When children are presented with something unfathomable, they say "I don't know".
When that child grows up a little and has been taught how to lie to itself, it says "God did it", and feels better.

If I base all of my reasoning on some axiom whereby the moon is made of cheese - then I would come to all sorts of different conclusions than you do. We can't both be right, so someone's first-principles are incorrect.Comment

At a very basic level we cannot actually prove we 'exist' in the manner we think we do.
We can say is that we hold something 'tangible' we call life to be sacred above all other things.
And yet it seems some people who have exist need to make up things which are non tangible and take life in that name.
It's all a bit strange really.Comment
