Also, I have already expressed a distaste for this "invisible man in the sky" tripe that keeps popping up; no one is asserting that there is an invisible man in the sky except the atheist stand-point, which is searching for said invisible man.That tells me absolutely nothing about your claim, or how you propose to define your God's attributes.
God is no a biologically living thing. His existance is hand-in-hand with the universe's, that is all.
The poorly-defined 'magic man' example continually comes back to haunt you is because of two reasons - firstly god is literally defined as that in the Bible, an anthropomorphic male entity with arms and yes, apparently back-parts (according to Exodus 33:18-34:9, which takes the popular atheist rebuttal "Your God's an ass" to a whole new level), and secondly, you like every other theist are failing at a basic level to establish an existence claim. To date no one has ever managed to provide a clear positive ontology of god. Stating god goes "hand-in-hand with the universe" is not even convincing or a persuasive argument, it explains nothing.
