Belief in God, or belief in no God, are both beliefs about God. Neither can be proved, and both rely on faith. I, myself, am agnostic. I do not understand God. However, by claiming lack of understanding about God, I also believe that I have a better understanding than those of Judea-Christianity and/or atheisitic faiths.

I find there are three common reasons atheists do not believe in God: lacking understanding of math, lacking understanding of science, and popularity.

Between the two aforementioned faiths, the argument seems to boil down to 'one' or 'zero.' If one understands math sufficiently to apply binary theory, those two numbers, though small in appearance, are the two numbers to 'all possibility.' Our minds and computers both work through deduction from all possibility that which is illogical through binary elimination. More difficult than understanding binary is conceiving infinity. However, beginning with 'infinity,' and use of the numbers 'one and zero,' not only can God exist, but one can even make purple elephants fly! If one were to gain in math skills beyond minimum requirements, that one may understand not only that 'anything is possible,' but also how to create the impossible.

Think about this mathematically: is a rock the size of one cubic foot smaller than a hole the size of three cubic feet? Of course not! The hole is less than zero so much so that we could place a one cubic foot rock inside the hole, and the hole will still be two cubic feet!

Taking math into science, which is only today's knowledge, we can begin looking for things, besides holes, that are known to be less than zero. Two things that come to mind are the inside of an incandescent light bulb and space. Most people have difficulty accepting there is no air inside a light bulb. However, if there were air, in particular oxygen, the light blows immediately. You see, the filament is fuel, and the electricity is ignition. If there were oxygen, we would have the recipe for fire. It is the lack of air that enables the filament to glow rather than to burn. Both the inside of the light bulb, and that which we call space, are vacuums. Vacuum is what we would measure to determine how much less than zero is the air in any defined area.

In 1959, a man named Hermann Bondi theorized that physical principles would still apply on submass, but in reverse. In other words, at less than zero weight, something would have negative gravity and float. Though we are unable to prove it, we know that generally
