"God doesn't Exist"- Claim or Conclusion

[downbeatplumb]

I was thinking last night about "God does not exist" as the null hypothesis (and therefore is not an assertion). Since God is not of the natural world (he is supernatural), it is possible that his existence cannot be known even if every inch of our reality was examined. If this fact can potentially be unknowable, then "God does not exist" is not the null hypothesis. At best the default position is "we can't know".

If we can't know of gods existence then it is of no consequence.

If it is of consequence then we should be able to notice it.
