If you say no, can you prove it? and if you say "yes" well?

In the absence of sufficient evidence to prove the existence of god, much like the absence of sufficient evidence to prove the existence of unicorns, I have concluded that god does not exist.
If evidence ever arises to conclusively prove that the entity known as 'god' does, in fact, exist, I am prepared to change my position. Until such time, the hypothesis that there is a god remains a hypothesis.
There is no god until it can be proven that there is a god.

People who say yes should have to prove it too, editor.

My thoughts exactly.

Wow, no one yet has gotten all indignant, like "You agnostics are terrible! Of course there's a god and you're all going to hell for posting such horrible blasphemies!"
Mabey there's hope for detnet. Or mabey this thread will become another flamewar.
Me? I agree with the agnostics. It takes just as much faith to be an atheist as a person with religion. I don't think there's a god, but there could be. Well spoken kuru.

[ranting about choice of words]Kuru you have reached a fallacious conclusion. You can't "conclude" that god doesn't exist, just because he hasn't been proven to exist, you can only assume or hypothesize[/rant]
As for the question at hand, I really don't know and can't say either way.

I don't think there's a God in the Jewish/Christian/Islamic sense. I don't believe in the supernatural, period. I don't have to - the natural world is weird enough.
I'm also quite sure that we don't know nearly as much about things as we think we do... which prevents me from being a materialist / atheist.
So let's hear it for agnosticism! Hooray!
