1. Which god?
2. Remember, we were talking about creation. How did you know we were created?
1. Did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
2. If yes, how?
3. If you don't know, can you then conclude that the pyramids weren't built?

The pyramids predated “Egyptians”.
Did the “Egyptians” build the ones in Ethiopia?, the oldest pyramids are found there.

you are cherrypicking what to discuss.
Does this your logic also apply to aliens?
Let’s use your logic.
“people should reject the existence of aliens on the basis that they have sufficient knowledge that all forms of aliens don't exist.”

There is only one creator...

That's why it is called a UNIverse.

It is just the nomenclature that is different..

The Igbos calls it CHUKWU
The yorubas calls it Olodumare/Eledumare.

Etc.

We did not just magically appear, whatever was there at the beginning is responsible for all of these....

Your god too was created by this magic, so what’s stopping the magic from creating another thing “magically”?

Then you do not understand who an agnostic is .

For your information your statement does not dtem from atheism but rather Anti-theism.

Do you not see that you speak like a mad person?

No one said anything about agnosticism nor is atheism/antitheism still in issue for I had put you down on it and you could not counter so you moved along to another issue of "people are unsure...'

So, clearly you do not have any reasonable thing to say.

you want to assume that because there's no evidence for a god and a pink unicorn, hence they both don't exist but that logic will fail if you apply it to the existence of a unicorn or existence of a blackhole in 18th century

When the properties of whatever is being described borders on non-existence then I see no further logical conclusion. If the pink unicorn for instance is said to be invisible and undetectable in any electromagnetic spectrum then how can it exist? If it is pink then it means some form of light, an electromagnetic phenomenon, emanates from it so when the undetectable attribute is added to the mix it means the so called pink cannot be detected so by what means was it known to exist? The logical conclusion is it doesn't exist since the attribute by which it would have been detected cannot be fulfilled by any means.

I like the blackhole analogy but here's where it falls short. The attributes by which it may be detected could not be explored until much later. The blackholes where never said to be beyond any means of detection.

he asked for pink unicorn, not invisible pink unicorn.

I would have immediately told him that invisible pink unicorns cannot exist based on the knowledge that we have, but he said pink unicorn. I don't know if a pink unicorn has ever existed in the past.

There's also a possibility that we may never be able to meet an alien until we go extinction because of how vast the universe is. It still doesn't mean that aliens don't exist.
There's a possibility that we may never know how the singularity got there, it still doesn't mean that a creator doesn't exist.

We just do not have sufficient knowledge to know now whether aliens or a creator exist. Until we acquire that knowledge, we cannot totally overrule it

I agree with the last statement however what I am pointing out is when you cannot find something based on its given attribute and not because you haven't sufficiently explored then it is hard not to conclude that it doesn't exist.

What ever the magic that was there in the beginning...is what we call God. I doubt it it is an idol like you claim....

God/god/Deity/deity simply means idol.
Why do you think this magic is called “god”.
Please look up on the origin of the word “god”.

And why only one god that “magically” appeared, why not 1 million Gods?

So, How do you come up with one UNIverse? Have you seen a UNIverse before, where does it begin and end?
Because we are in Nigeria that means there’s no other country?
Because we are on earth that means there is no other planet?
That’s exactly how those mesopotomia gods were thinking, they thought the world Begin and end in their region.
In your tanakh did they say anything about other planets apart from "Earth"

That Is a logical fallacy known as adhominem.

Now you are resorting to lies because the records here clearly show you had nothing reasonable to counter hence your flying off point in raising agnosticism/atheism/antitheism. So, I did not call you mad, I just pointed out that you are looking unreasonable and not comported (mad) in saying agnosticism/atheism/antitheism and going off point.
