This is flawed logic dude...you are saying I am arguing from ignorance because I refuse to put my belief in something that has not been proven? How so? Maybe if I was saying it 100% is not true, that argument would be valid..but I am not. I am saying I can not believe something until I see evidence, just as I would not have believed the earth to be round until I saw that it was, but I also would not have believed it to be flat, as there was no evidence for that either. I do not believe something until I see evidence, that's my only point.
