I would never dare presume to mock. For me, the most I expect any believer to concede in this kind of debate is the sole point that the onus of proof cannot and should not ever fall on those who would be seeking it for a negative.

If someone tells me they don't believe in God, I ask them to define God.

I still believe there are things,however clever we are or believe us to be,that are way ahead of us.I believe we are so ignorant of what is actually going on in the universe and beyond.

We do not know the answers

Not cool at all. In fact the only purpose it serves is to mark you out as someone incapable of discerning between a literal and a conceptual God.
