Ado, you are getting confused with my wording and your defenitions.
Okay mate. No problems. I accept defeat. You win. Like I've suggested several times before, go and publish your great discovery, there are plenty of people who would love to get their hands on your proof. You might become famous! Of course, like I have also said several times, you might find it a little odd that not even a militant atheist like Dawkins chooses to use your reasoning. Perhaps he hasn't thought of it? While you're at it, perhaps you should publish a quantitative estimate on the amount that we don't know?
Perhaps you should read my post from last night a bit more closely. It's only a few scrolls away!

Ado, it is always interesting to see a scientist appose the Atheists. Dawkins and his Neo Atheist supporters like to paint the picture of unanimous support of their views within the scientific community, are telling me that they are misleading the public? No......
Den is spot on with this one. In fact, Dawkins is often regarded as a joke and an embarrassment. Michael Ruse, an eminent philosopher of biology, and a vocal advocate for evolution, who has more influence and written more on the creation-evolution debate than anybody, said this about Dawkins new book, The God Delusion: "
The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist". In fact, Ruse finished by saying,
"and the McGraths show why". The McGraths are the authors of a new book called
The Dawkins Delusion, which, in the interest of balance, anyone who has read The God Delusion should also read.
Ruse goes on to say,
I am just as critical of this book (The God Delusion)
as of the work of Intelligent Design authors like Michael Behe, despite the fact that I, as an agnostic, am closer to Dawkins, and am 99% in agreement with his conclusions. But this book is stupid, politically disastrous and bad academics. If someone spoke about biology and evolution as he does on theology, Dawkins would react without mercy....
Dawkins' book confirms my analysis of evolution as pseudo-religion. His secular humanism has quasi-religious characteristicsMichael Ruse has written a great little essay about science and the Dawkins crowd called,
Why I think the new atheists are a bloody disaster. You'll find it on the net. Bear in mind that this is from a guy who has spent most of his life actively fighting creationists and ID proponents.
If your really interested in reading, perhaps broadening your intellectual horizons somewhat, have a read of Terry Eagleton's review of The God Delusion. It can be found
heretheonetruepath, it's great quoting from Dawkins,
The Greatest Show on Earth all the time, but have you read any other work?
Proverbs 18:17 (I love this book, so much wisdom that we could all learn from) says,
"The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him".In that spirit, I suggest that you have a read of Johnathan Sarfati's
The Greatest Hoax on Earth? Now I'm not saying that I agree with everything that he has written (not saying I disagree either, it's irrelevant), but if you want to become an informed individual rather than a Dawkins disciple it's best to question everything, and read from a wide variety of sources,
including those who hold polar opposite views. cheers
