Furthermore, your weak apologist argument in favor of god's existence is doing you no favors. It is quite reasonable to state with certainty that absence of evidence for god's existence currently verifies his non-existence as stating that the absence of evidence for magical garden gnomes means they do not exist.
Magic garden gnomes don't exist, because they're a product of people's imagination, fictional beings in story tales told to children, etc.. Or in other words, such aspects is underlying evidence here that leads us to the conclusion that they don't exist.
No, I have no evidence one way or the other that you're married, or whether you're grandmother is alive. As I result I can't conclude one way or the other.
If you don't have evidence one way or the other regarding God's existence , than you can't conclude one way or the other.
