I would say that is more the result of science proving that so many supernatural events attributed to God, from disease to weather, aren't actually supernatural at all, so theists have decided to keep God from being further embarrassed by science by moving the goalposts to a point intentionally beyond what science can detect. Or, to put it more accurately, theists have redefined God so that he's more obviously just a deluded fantasy.
Quote:Not true. God provides 'proof' daily. It's just what God provides is dismissed by people 'who know better.'
Theists provide 'proof' daily, 'proof' which is entirely subjective and can only be accepted as proof if you first accept the premise, without proof. Nor can they prove that their God actually exists to provide any proof of its own existence.
What really happens is that theists insist that proof can only be found if you want to find it, unaware or not caring that this is something 'people who know better' dismiss as confirmation bias.
Quote:It's like telling someone to provide proof of the color yellow on an object with out being able to verify color by sight. If an object is yellow then it is yellow even if you can not provide any 'proof' out side the color spectrum
To offer a more accurate comparison, it's like telling someone to provide proof of the color Jesurple, and that person responds by saying that Jesurple is definitely a real color but you have to have faith that it exists before you can actually see it.
