Only the search for God.
Stilll we play this game...
I'm 40 years old and I've been trying to dissuade people about God for 20 years. And no one has ever listened to a word I've said.

God doesn't reveal Himself outside of revelation which is found in the Book of nature, the Book of revelation, and Jesus Christ
incarnate; per the doctrine of 'deus absconditus'. To search out the unknown God outside of these sources will be for naught, and could be destructive: i. e., Lucifer, Adam and Eve. Additionally, God will be silent to believers to test their faith; and not reveal himself to unbelievers unless they seek. God also deliberately hides himself from the proud and the ungodly (greater the sinning, the greater the blindness)*.
*1 John 5:19-20 ... the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
20And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.…

It's exactly as I've been saying all along; "God" only exists in the story. If I didn't know better I'd say we were making progress here.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nature =/= god.
That's stating the obvious, here's another obvious: Atheistism is DOA since thought perceived a brain...that's the correct order of things. Placing the brain first is futility.

What the hell is "Atheistism"?
And how the flying fox can thought precede a brain?
(I'm guessing that's what you mean.)

Got a citation for that?
And a response to my second question?

I can't imagine any evidence for God. Maybe in another universe, not in this one however. It depends on what you mean by God, of course. The pantheistic God for example obviously exists, but in its case it's just a trick of language. There God equals the universe, and everything points to the universe existing. At least that's how I understand it.

I can easily accept evidence presented for "God" - on the rare occasion that it is. Whether it is actually evidencing what it is purported to evidence - now that's another question and one we've never got to yet.
