Your claim of a higher power is completely untrue at this stage according to observations of our natural universe.
And no, there are no supernatural observations possible under this natural universe. Only wild unsubstantiated claims.

Then your name is a lie, it should be "Knowall."

I'm surprised nobody has talked about "burden of proof" yet.

You seem to be unaware of this concept. I can make all kinds of claims which ARE possible - like the claim that there is a teapot orbiting Jupiter. Would you take me seriously if I made such a claim? You might if I could prove that I was an engineer on one of the NASA probes that sent orbiters to Jupiter. Even then, you SHOULD have some serious skepticism because launching anything to Earth-orbit - never mind on a trajectory through the solar system - is very challenging and expensive. Why to Hell should anyone take the extra effort and expense to deploy a teapot around Jupiter? It IS possible but ridiculously unlikely.

That's where we stand with your God claim. Sure, it's possible - especially if you invoke a supernatural realm into which we cannot peer. But why should we take such a claim more seriously than a teapot around Jupiter? Don't you see? You are making an extraordinary claim yet are offering no reason at all to take it seriously.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
