It is not beside the point, it is the point. The argument for god so often relies on completely unsubstantiated assertions and is something that needs to be addressed. It is foolish to make decisions that affect your entire world view based on unsubstantiated assumptions about existence, there is absolutely no reason to believe that these assumptions are true aside from wishful thinking and pitiful attempts to rescue the rapidly fading top-down concept of origins (God).
You can try to defend your conclusions with speculative claims, but in terms of a coherent process for arriving at truth statements, it is a complete failure.
