Russell's Teapot
is the perfect illustration. To claim knowledge of it's existence is nonsense.

Unicorns are a man made construct, intended to explain the then unexplainable (narwhal horns, probably), at least to the best of my knowledge. I wouldn't be so arrogant as to claim that I know the nature of every creature on this planet.

If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

I still think that I'm in general agreement with Russell,

What the fuck are you saying about unicorns?
I'll have you for religious intolerance you heathen bastard.
