I've had theists tell me I'm being unreasonable and irrational for 'demanding' physical evidence of a non-physical cause, ie their pet god. They miss the point I just laid out; that it's not the cause for which we require evidence, but the alleged effects, which we can then investigate and determine if they actually support the non-physical cause the theists posit.
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.'
