A few posts ago you said, "My belief is that nobody knows what the origin of this universe is."
So you do believe something you don't know after all. You don't know that nobody knows what the origin of his universe is, yet you still believe it.
Originally posted by FMF [1] I don't know what the origin of this universe is (assuming it has one) [2] I believe you don't know either. [3] I believe nobody knows.
You have not given me reason to think that you know. Nor has anyone else.
2 and 3 are beliefs you have about something you don't know. God could have created the universe. You could be wrong. Someone who believes he did could be right.
Originally posted by FMF Sure. Of course I could be wrong (and so could you). But you asked me about my beliefs. And I have told you.
You believe in something you don't know. So you can't use the excuse that you don't know for not believing something. Because clearly you do in some cases.

Originally posted by FMF This is convoluted, grasping claptrap.
Your excuse for not believing that God created the universe is that you don't know. Yet you do believe that nobody knows who created the universe, which is a belief based on something you don't know. So you are not being consistent. When it suits you, you believe something you don't know, but when it doesn't, you don't.
