You: That is true, but we cannot use my ignorance as proof for the existence of God unless we assume that God exists in the first place.

For instance, if I say that all the rocks in a river bed were smoothed by the water, when in fact my cousin Beatrice smoothed one in her rock tumbler and threw it into the water last Thursday, I can hardly be faulted. On the other hand, if I discover my mistake, I would hardly be forced to assume that, out of any given stream full of rocks, at least one was smoothed by my cousin. Since we cannot prove that anything was formed by God, then I am under no obligation to assume that anything was.

Aaron: You can hardly call yourself a skeptic when you are not careful about what you believe.

You: As a skeptic I think very carefully about what facts I accept. I always try to side with the theory which is most likely correct. In fact, if I had to choose between Beatrice and God as the smoother of all the rocks in a stream I would prefer Beatrice because I know for a fact that she exists while God remains to be proven.
