After 7 pages I still have no idea what the claim is.
What distinguishes a god from a non-God? How do I tell the difference?
And what does all this vague deistic-style creator business have to do with a storybook?
My general formula is God = "intelligent creator of our reality" + "meaningless word salad which varies from theist to theist"
The first part is simply unfalsifiable and untestable, it seems to me. The second part just makes it less likely exist and/or so vague it's not a meaningful claim.
