why we believe in god(s)

If I ever come across the author of these words, I am going to ask her if she knows the difference between the following statements:
- There is no evidence that God exists, and furthermore the attributes commonly assigned to God make such an entity very improbable. Therefore, I am highly certain, but not 100% certain, that there is no God.
- I can't see God with my science stuff so there absolutely is no God
If she says no, I will tell her that we can safely say that she does not understand what she is arguing against, and that her opinion can be disregarded.
If she says yes, then I will ask her why she lies and falsely attributes the second statement instead of the first to Dawkins.
