No, no, no, no and again no. One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out “Don’t you believe in anything?” “Yes”, I said. “I believe in evidence.

Show me good solid evidence that can be reproduced, and yes, I’ll believe! But if it cannot be proved through reason and logic, I cannot believe it.
