To reach this conclusion, you have to have
1) an idea of what a deity would be like,
2) an idea of what reality is like, and
3) an idea of what it would be like for those things to "match."
Uhm.... Yes and no.
1) Lots of diety propositions have come to/been brought to my attention. None match the reality around me.
Zeuss does not live atop Mount Olypus (Unless the whole pantheon is really good at hiding).
Odin does not seem to have a 'World tree' any where in the Scandinavian countries (Again, possibly really good at hiding)
Abrahamic deity's can not be omnicient not omnepresent with out breaking things such as relativity and even, possible, causality.
2) My understanding of reality is good enough that can I put my pants on one leg at a time. I can walk and chew gum etc.
3) Yes. I posted why the propositions so far presented do not match the reality around me. Though as I've pointed out before. There's nothing preventiong some different type of diety that does match the reality around me to come along and present itself.
