To muddy the waters even more, our legal system allows "Acts of God" as reasons 
/ causes for events.

        In my opinion, "God" and "I
            don't know" is basically the same thing with
          different wording. It just the name for the collection of
          knowledge that are not being understand yet. 

        
        

        
        Putting "God" as a placeholder is fine. After all, that
          what humanity did in the past.
      
    
    

    Say what?  That humanity did X in the past in no way says doing X
    was or is reasonable.  People thought there where weather spirits
    too.  Does that mean it is ok to do so now?

    

    "I don't know" is a statement of epistemological uncertainty about
    something in particular.  "God" is a statement of certainty about a
    purported particular quite peculiarly defined existent.  It is not
    at all a fit for label for what we don't have reasonable
    epistemological certainty about in general.  

    

    This is sheer nonsense.
