No. I am merely explaining to you why a point of skepticism is the starting point for anything, which neutralizes the pseudo-logical saying of "absence of evidence is not evidence of abscence". Because for all intents and purposes, absence of evidence is indeed a perfectly valid evidence of absence.

The question of the existence of God, then, depends on our perspective of evidence, and that's the realm in which I become an atheist.
