I see your argument and raise you common sense.
The thing about the exstance of netune is:
1: I know that planets exist because I am currently on one.
2: I can check for myself the existance of neptune given a point in the right direction and a suitable elescope.
3: Neptunes gravity will influence other heavanly bodies and this effect can be quantified.
In short, the existance of neptune is not a claim that is extradinary AND can be fairly easily checked.
Now onto god:
1: I have not encountered 'god' in anyway
2: the god hypothosis main document (the bible) has been shown to be not reliable on the facts it purports to disclose.
3: The god hypothosis has all the hallmarks of an ancient society trying to explain the universe without the facts, it is, most likely a myth.
4: The god hypothosis is an extradinary claim and so requires extradinary proof before it can be taken seriously.
I know you were just argueing about teh nature of truth. But i think your goal was clear.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
