I don't know where "lame excuse" fits into formal logic Deepak smile emoticon I'm not arguing for the existence of God. I'm just saying the logical argument against isn't terribly strong. Hence: agnostic for me. To me, to go atheist from agnostic is a rounding error. Some people will turn 0.01 into a 0. It's certainly doable and very useful. It's pragmatic. Gets the job done. But in this instance, i can say, "Does God exist?" "unlikely but possible".
