A god we can't see, hear, feel, taste, smell, or measure its effects on us/the earth, is no god.

How do you measure a realm of existence? That seems like a convenient abstraction to avoid pinpointing, which is essentially the "God of the gaps" argument with a shiny new coat of paint. in this case, the gap is "other immeasurable planes of existence. He totally exists there, guise."

But this brings up the bigger issue: Christians and Flat Earthers have the same impossible bar for accepting evidence. For exactly the same reasons.

is no god.

How do you know? Maybe god just likes watching from the sidelines. Maybe god is busy with some other universe. Maybe god is a giant lobster that doesn't care about humans, but only crustaceans.

How do you measure a realm of existence?

The scientific method.

Christians and Flat Earthers have the same impossible bar for accepting evidence.

And so do atheists. None of these people require actual evidence to support their beliefs, only theory.

So, God is now a person that can't be measured, watches from the sidelines, and doesn't actively participate in the goings-on of Earth in any measurable way?
This obviously would mean that prayer is bullshit, right?
Not much of a god, bro.

How do you measure a realms of existence (more than one!) using the scientific method?

> None of these people require actual evidence to support their beliefs, only theory.

There you go again with this whole "belief" thing again. Didn't we already cover this? Is a working hypothesis a belief? is belief required for, say, the 3rd law of thermodynamics? Does the law stop being true if you don't believe in it?

Further, are you conflating theory and hypothesis like most christians and flat-earthers do?
