I don't want to hijack the thread here, but I think there are two kinds of knowledge: empirical and logical. Empirically, I agree, we're very ignorant. However, logically we can prove some things that are a priori true - two things equal to a third are equal to each other, two contradictory things cannot be simultaneously true, and so forth. These things don't depend on ignorance or knowledge, they are self-evident. The existence of god, to me, falls into the second category. I don't think we'll ever be able to explore the universe to such a degree that we can say "Nope, no sign of a god anywhere!" but I do think we can formulate logical proofs of non-existence.
