To be fair, you don't know for certain, and no one does. I guess it depends of your definition of 'god'. No one has ever proved that there is a creator, and no one has ever proved that there isn't a creator. I would say that, based on the facts that we know, the most scientific position to have is one of being agnostic.

I am not saying that any human description of a god, in human religions, is anywhere close to reality. I am just saying that it is very hard, and maybe impossible, to prove whether there is something that created the universe or not. At least from our perspective in the universe.

That being said, I think its fair to say that based on the facts that we do know, athiest theory is much more probable to be true than just about any other human myths about gods. It's just that the truth is actually impossible to know, and the argument is kind of pointless until a time where we know more about the universe, if we ever get to that point.

I am pretty anti-religious and would definitely agree with you over any cultist, fwiw. I just think it's impossible to actually 'know' that there is nothing created the universe. Maybe there is a creator of some kind. Maybe this is all just a product of nature. Its really impossible to know either way with our current understanding.
