"Argument from personal incredulity" is itself a weak argument, since incredulity is perfectly acceptable if warranted.
Quote:Yes, a god that started creation, then ceased to have any measurable effect on reality at all, is indistinguishable from one that doesn't exist.
How so? Even if God started creation then ceased to have any measurable effect on reality, would not the existence of creation itself still testify to the fact of it being created by God?
No. "The fact that reality exists" is not evidence of a god. In that line of thinking, literally everything that exists is evidence of its creator, which is the largest tautology possible. It also makes your OP question rather useless, since you already consider everything to be evidence of a god.
Are we ever going to get to the point where you support your assertion of God existing?
