Community help for Non-Cognitive?

RE: Community help for Non-Cognitive?
(November 1, 2012 at 8:56 am)TROC Wrote: Statements like "God must be treated as any hypothesis" are ones I reject functionally and inter personally - even though it's literally true or false - in the same way I would reject something like "There was 74 cents in change in my pocket the morning of December 1st, 1982". The statement "There was 74 cents in my pocket" must be true or false, but arguing it (as the proofs are lost) is not rational.
It would be rational to argue you had 74 cents if you had documentary evidence of your entire finances leading up to that day. But you don't, so there's insufficient data to prove it either way. All you can say is it's highly unlikely.

So are there proofs likewise unavailable about gods? That sounds like the absence of evidence argument. But that's a cognitive argument that engages the proposition. (And it's a flawed argument because it does not disprove god, nor make god improbable, it just makes god seem unlikely).
