What are things we are 99.99% sure of, but cant 100% confirm?

First you have to look at the type of rationale they use:

I'm 99.99% sure bigfoot doesn't exist because nobody's ever produced reliable evidence that he does.

They are comparing big-foot with God or Gods or gods. This is the sort of rationale they use to justify their philosophy. There actually has been impressive evidence available for big-foot by the way, more impressive than one would expect. As in, two independent and professional scientists, one working as an investigator for the police, were able to verify that the casts they identified look authentic. At risk to their reputation and career mind you.

But if some animal may or may not exist, that means higher and more advanced life forms do not? This is very stupid.

For arguments sake, let's agree that there is literally a 99.99% chance of big-foot not existing. Now compare that to the chances of alien life. There are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars out there, at least. We are one star.

Could an alien be a "god?", what defines Gods? Or if we are talking singularly, we can dive into quantum string theory and realize that it is technically possible for an entire human to be transported to Mars instantly. 1 chance for the entire length of time the universe exists in, including expansion and retraction, but possible according to theoretical physics.

What about the laws that come before the big bang happens. The big bang happens, but it's governed by laws that come before it in order for the causation of that event to unfold in that manner.

See, an atheist always keeps the numbers small and the philosophy very simple, simple bordering stupid. Yet when it comes to trying to prove atheism, they will go to great lengths and speak much beauty about humans coming from starts, being made of what stars are made of.

They still have yet to define what Gods could be. What if aliens are born with "biological cellphones", that is telepathy, right? Or is there a God if there are laws manifesting before the big bang?

Math and laws are what destroy the atheistic ideology. If true randomness exists than why are laws present at all? Very powerful laws that defy explanation exist. The prediction of Pluto's landscape was way off, its because they do not truly understand the mechanics.

At the end of the day, I think people who fanatically believe in God, or atheists, are both just the same type of ignorant people, believers. Meanwhile the pragmatist sticks to the facts, and keeps and open and closed mind.
