But this is absurd. You could say this about any proposition for which no evidence is available or forthcoming. Sliver's reference to Russell's Teapot is bang on. That's just one odd, silly example of something that there's no good reason to believe is true or false, so we default to false. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is another.
You could pull out of your ass any belief system you liked, and suggest that it can't be proven or disproven, so closing your mind to the possibility it's true is equally closed-minded as being certain that it is. That is nonsense.
