Untrue. The experience says the explanation of theism exhibits no indication of significant nontrivial correlation, and has exhibited no indications of significant nontrivial correlation, between its predictions of undiscovered aspect of reality, and those undiscovered aspects of reality themselves. Therefore it is not an adaquate analogue of reality from which one might usefully deduce otherwise unknown things about reality. So as an explanation it is unsound.
Therefore to anyone with any degree of sophistication in using experience, experience shows theism is an unsound explanation.
