And what's with the new "evinice" word??
Say you had a sand pit with an impression in it, and the object that made the impression was missing. In this instance, couldn't you know or have a good idea of what made the impression without it actually being there? We're not talking about 'evidencing' something anyway. We're talking about working out 'something' of the entity in question.
In the case of the analogy you would have many physical attributes of the print to relate to the thing that left the print, such as the depth, width, length, area, contours etc - Can you name a single case where god has left a print?

The god of fr0d0 is not tangible, not detectable, not provable, not verifiable, not falsifiable. Belief without any evidence or clue whatsoever is random and meaningless yet this is what he's trying to sell. My guess is that fr0d0 himself does not believe in a god since he cannot name one characteristic feature that defines him. It's a classic case of holding on to a dream in spite of knowing better. A strange battle between hope and reason.
You're such a shit Rabbit. Nice mindless rep too VOID.
Not mindless, i find he summed up your tactics quite well.

Metaphysical diversion? There is nothing metaphysical about technology.

Better than offering nothing but ambiguity.
