Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?

The idea of God can't even be considered rational or irrational until it's defined properly. Just because people use the same word, it doesn't mean it's the same concept. And clearly, it isn't. It's just a vague collection of weird ideas with not even one necessary component.

Is the idea of a generic intelligent creator rational? Sure, yes. Is belief in one rational? I'd say no. Is belief that there is no such creator rational? Maybe not, if nothing about the creator has been specified. I wouldn't assume that "we" would be of any interest to such a creator. It would most likely be a simulation or something. I'd say at this point, it really doesn't matter. This potential creator is irrelevant in all practical respects.

Is an intelligent creator plus [word salad drivel] a rational idea? Probably not. But I'll listen to each case. And the intelligent creator part isn't even a given, either.
