Seeing grass grow is the only evidence required to make this claim, and we do see grass grow.
A god botherer and I might disagree about the existence of gods, but if we can't agree to the growing of grass, no further discussion is possible.
Yes line one is true and line two follows on and line three makes sense as well.
Earlier you said grass grows without god and if you don't add or with god part then you shoulder a burden that is all.
There's a burden on any statement, no matter what we include or exclude in any statement. Moot point, since any burden that the statement could possibly have has already been met. Grass grows regardless of whether gods exist. Statement made, burden accepted, burden met.
Understanding that this statement is in-arguably true may assault a god botherer's belief in the logical necessity of the divine - but that can only be their own problem. Between gods not existing and not having anything to do with grass growing..and gods existing and not having anything to do with grass growing, and gods existing and having something to do with grass growing, I'm entirely unconcerned about the third being an accurate description of the state of affairs in reality.
I was asked whether there were grass djinn. There aren't. It really is that simple. I find it completely astounding that people of faith posit such questions. Next they'll wonder how dew gets on the flowers in the morning? Do I know that it's not fairies with paintbrushes?
