What I mean is that if greatness is objective, there must be a way to objectively measure greatness. It is a loaded question because that is quite impossible.
And, though I invoked Yahweh mistakenly, it doesn't matter what deity we're talking about. The deist's Great Watchmaker, if you prefer.
You do not need to be able to measure something to have a concept of it, I agree, but I took your argument to be for the existence of God, which is very different. Every atheist has the concept of God and/or gods if his or her atheism is conscious.
