It's illogical to believe god exists, it's illogial to think god doesn't exist.

But for all real life purposes it's not illogical to assume god doesn't exist because thinking god exists helps in no way.

 

From a scientific stand point it is not illogical to believe God doesn't exist.

Do you believe its illogical to think pink unicorns or flying pigs don't exist?

 

But many people think god is unknowable, by that given definition it's illogical to believe he doesn't exist, but that has more to do with philosophy and not science, and you did say scientific.

Yes, it's logical to think pink unicorns don't exist. You've never seen one, and unicorns are mythical creations of man. If they're a invisible pink unicorn though, it is illogical to believe they don't exist. You can't see them not existing.

Flying pigs... Ever seen a cop in a helicopter? How about a pig shot out of a cannon?

 

 

Lots of good stuff.  Here, as well, there is again an implication that logic is a relative term to the circumstance with which we confine it and in turn is limited to our current knowledge and since we are subject to psychology, we can also say our current "accepted" knowledge.  If logic wasn't a relative term here, then you would have to coin that it is "scientific" that pink unicorns don't exist, but then you are saying that science isn't logical, in which case it would potentially be an inferior process as it would not be considering all possibilities, which could house a correct possibility not considered.  Just thought I would bring that tidbit out for my past posts, but all your points are well made.
