If you are claiming, that because we can’t see something, that it does not exist, and hence a person claiming so is delusional, then I don’t think that is a very good argument and one that I can make you contradict fairly quickly; if that is the road you are intending to go down.
Well, my garden grows and the gnomes and unicorns are what makes my garden grow, so they must exist, right?
It isn't the simple invisibility that produces the problem. It is the undetectability by any means that is the problem.
So your argument is that the garden grows, therefore gnomes and unicorns. With the secondary argument that since you can not detect them, they must be invisible.
This just seems like bad logic as is. There is no connection between the premise and the conclusion. Are you saying that bad reasoning; means that one is delusional? Because I find this to be bad reasoning.
This also seems to be a rather naive and childlike understanding of the arguments as an analogy. It seems more of a charicature than analogous to Christianity or religious arguments. Perhaps you should try stating your reasoning more directly without the analogy.
