Argument from Ignorance

A concise presentation of the Argument from Ignorance , from Neil Degrasse Tyson.

In summary:

• Arguments for the existence of God are almost exclusively arguments from ignorance. (Or, as they call them now, “arguments to the best explanation,” except that unlike scientists, theologians give no account of how God is the best explanation.)
• Religious belief usually relies on personal experience instead of public evidence anyway, ignoring the fact that personal experience is extremely unreliable.
