We have come along a far way as a race but we still got a long way to go as a race sadly.

The fact that either of two conditions
could be true does not mean that they are equally likely to be true. You are right in that we cannot, in any absolute sense, exclude the possibility that the universe was created by a being of such incomprehensible power that he can suspend the fundamental laws of nature and shape reality at his whim. However,
lacking any evidence to the contrary, we
can say that such a being's existence is about as likely as the existence a complete sterling silver tea service bearing LeBron James's autograph in geosynchronous orbit around Jupiter.
We can never prove that something we can't detect doesn't exist. This does
not mean that we must take the possibility of its existence seriously.
