If "I" exist only in my head, at least I am in some pretty good company. I think it makes a perfectly fine place to posit God, though one might have to let go of a few omni's. What's left over might still be some pretty good company.

Can versions of the things you listed be verified by strangers, at random, to exist? Even if they don't agree with your take on those things, they could at least validate the concepts, right?

Would a God experiment, with strangers at random, reveal the same kind of results?

Thinking

Most likely, yes (to the things I listed). The experiment in the case of God would most likely correlate with belief in God going in.

I guess a better phenomenon to put up as on the same level as God would be one's self. How do you know you are who you think you are? It isn't exactly falsifiable in any objective way and neither consciousness nor 'self-hood' are well understood scientifically. Heck, many on this site argue forcefully against free will which correlates with something about self-hood, maybe agency.
