Why not deism?

[Mister Agenda]

Ah, I didn't read the part about deism where it requires that there be no evidence that it is the case, just that the creator of the universe not intervene in the universe it has created.

In order for such a creator to leave evidence, it would have to intervene, don't you think?

Don't see why, the one act it's supposed to have done, creation, could leave evidence of divine creation. We haven't found any and I think the chances are infinitesimal (IMHO) that we ever will, but there's no logical contradiction in the act of creation having left evidence. Unlike the Abrahamic God, which is incoherent in concept and attributed authorship of events that we know didn't actually happen, the only problem with the God of deism is that there isn't any good reason to think it's real.
