Let us suppose that someone, long time ago, said “Oh, there are clouds in the sky”
His family and friends thought he said “Oh, there are gods in the sky,” they spread the news, the gods turned into God and we now are talking of scientific evidence for or against the existence of what?
Moreover, what you wrote above is true for the God of today who has moved from the clouds to the outskirts of the universe. What about the gods of our ancestors who had their residence on the mountains and anyone could climb up there and investigate. Those were false gods and ours is not? Were the ancestors not so intelligent or what?
Epistemological certainties are produced by studying the subject, whatever it is, by paying attention to the slightest detail from start to finish and we seem not to take into account but the latest image of God.
Scientific research on the subject can only reach one outcome: that the idea of gods is just an archaic joke!
