A question addressed to professor Dawkins

It's meaningless to discuss about invisible non-interventionist beings who don't do anything. The world could be chock-full of them and we wouldn't ever know nor have any reason to care.

Which atheist believes in the existence of God,whether interventionist or not?
Why should we need miracles?
Are you afraid of an atheist world?Read TGD you will find answer to your
questions. It is not the subject of the thread.The subject is why should atheism
not be sure of it's justness.
We have to use all "cranes " ,as expressed by RD which are at our disposition in order to be close as much as possible to the disproval of God .
One of those "cranes " is the provable fact that all Gods whether of abrahamic religion or others are a provable creation of man "in his image" for provable purposes engendered by human beings.
How could one declare that he is only a 99% atheist.
To what measurable scale?
By intuition? Thanks a lot.
Lord Kelvin said that if one has a scientific hypothesis but can not express it in measurable units his knowledge of it is poor and unsatisfactory
