But I still believe in things that can be proven, instead of believing in what can't be proven. You could tell me that there is green men on Jupiter. I can't know that either, so I won't believe that either before I see evidence that I can trust.
On a sidenote:
If you look more closely on Michelangelo's Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican you will se ethat the oddly shaped drapery behind God, and the arrangment of his attendants forms an image that looks very much like a sagital view of a dissected human brain. This has prompted speculation that Michelangelo was convaying a hidden message: God and attendants appear to be a part of the human brain.
