You're right, agnostics don't have a better answer, for the most part they don't have any answer at all.
Many also claim that the answer cannot be known, I don't see this as being an intellectual high ground.

We come back to the same problem. How can you prove something does not exist ?

The problem of evil comes to mind.

Also, there are lots of other contradictions in the bible, proving that the bible stories can't be true.

These don't prove that their is no god at all, but they certainly prove that the traditional Christian god doesn't exist.
