Wind Shlavitor said: Replace 'knowledge' with 'opinion'. Do you even understand the words you're using? Don't you understand basic logic? Consider these statements: "God doesn't exist" - Illogical (no certainty) "God does exist" - Illogical (not certainty) "There is a possibility that god exist" - Logical (possibility is what is not slashed out by counter-proof) "There is a possibility that god doesn't exist" - Logical (Same as above)

Logic?  You are using a warped version of logic to justify belief in things that are not true.

Invisible dragons do not exist - logical

Invisible dragons do exist - illogical

 

Lets use some real logic:

 

Humpty Dumpty is a work of fiction.

Works of fiction do not exist.

Therefore, Hupty Dumpty does not exist.

 

The invisible dragon is made up.

Things that a are made up do not exist.

Therefore, the invisible dragon does not exist.

I'm a very logical person but I also understand that logic can be sent curveballs.  For instance....

 

Midnight is a cat.
Cats can see in the dark.
Therefore Midnight can see in the dark.

Unless Midnight is blind.

 

You should never use baseline logic as valid fact for the absence of proof.  Read a basic forensic science book and you'll get what I'm saying.  What you are suggesting is a level of plausibility.   The curveball factor I just demonstrated prevents absolutes from being certain in logical equatiosn such as those.
