I don't understand where you're going with this analogy. Are you saying God wouldn't work because of how the universe is designed?
And you do realize Sagan's not saying the existence of God (even the Judeo-Christian one) is 100%, demonstrably false, right? Rejecting an hypothesis because of a lack of evidence does not make an hypothesis false, just as being unable to invalidate an hypothesis doesn't make it true or provide good enough reason to believe it's true.

You live in the least religious nation in the world, and it is thrown in your face daily? I think you don't know what thrown in your face means. Mentioning religion (like mentioning atheism) is not the same thing as "throwing it in your face". I think you are hypersensitive to the issue, which may explain why you are so angry about it.

I don't know, I live next to a church -- it's hard not to here in Toronto, what with a church every few blocks -- and that large, protruding symbol of their religion sticking up above all of the nearby buildings and into the sky makes me feel as if it's being shoved in my face. Well, at least when I look out the window.
