Enough of this crap, I want to hear directly from god

Sure, behavioral trick... and children aren't usually into culture yet.

Let me then clarify further,

In a world without gear manufacturers, the term gear is ill defined. Nobody ever saw a world where gears exist without their manufacturers- did you?.. yet you had no problem with that, you had no problem with dealing with the properties of a set that might be empty.

The assertion : "In a world without god, something" can be equivalent to "In the empty set, something".

You have to be certain that a world without god can exist. Certain.

I, on the other hand, don't need to, since I didn't deny the existence of such a being, I only deal with this observable world, as it is, and then try to make reasonable inferences.

I am actually imploring you to think of the only reasonable explanation, that there is only one world we observe and that it points to its manufacturer.
