From current information I would say that the teapot theory is rather implausible. And I would say that if there is no evidence for or against a theory that does not mean there is a 50% chance it is correct, and if I judge that the theory was so implausible it does not warrant ware and tear on valuable brain cells with one more thought about it then I would call myself a teapot atheist without apology.>>> Atheism which is a variant of Christianism>> And 2+2= 5 for extremely large values of 2. > Atheism use the conception of God given by people using authoritative argument, and dismiss the talk of both the rationalist and the mystics.
