Everyday I move a little closer to Agnosticism

If there's no evidence of either, isn't that at least one reason to rule it out?

What I mean by "ruling it out" is considering it as a zero percent possibility. I am not that sure of anything. I don't know how can one be honest with oneself and do that, because I do think there is a infinitesimally small possibility; the possibility is there nonetheless. However, I can be a de facto atheist because I do consider a deity completely out of the realm of probability. It is a slight difference, but I think it is important to not consider it impossible.
