I already dealt with this sort of argument. In the case of God existing, there is a possibility there is a way of knowing he exists. In the case of your undetectable dragon, there is none.

Anyways, read in the argument I am making instead of making your own version of what I'm saying. I don't see the need of repeating myself.

I think there is as much chance of the unknowable (invisible and undetectable) dragon existing as there is your unknowable god. In much they same way that there is also a slim chance that fairies exist because it's impossible to know for certain they dont, perhaps there is a hedgerow or fairy ring somebody hasn't examined thoroughly and they live there?

And it's not my dragon.

I read the argument btw and it didn't make much sense to me, still doesn't if I'm honest, hence the reason I asked for clarification.
