Nice appeal to authority.
Also, it is apparent you are unable to comprehend analogies. Gravity could be disproven at any moment, just like God could be proven at any moment. My position is that it is perfectly reasonable, regardless of the rightness or wrongness of our understanding, to expect the glass to fall off the table. In the same way, based upon literally thousands of years of history, it is perfectly reasonable to say, with absolute certainty, God does not exist.
That isn't religion. That is just called being a human being.
Basically what your point comes down to is that anytime someone makes a statement, it should be qualified by acknowledging a whole slew of random, seemingly impossible events that may or may not occur in the future.
As I said before, I have no time for silly platitudes. Your position is a joke, a hollow shell of an argument, and to be held in spite by theists and atheists alike.
