That makes your job even easier - if he is material, get his picture.

You mean your next idea about inquiry regarding evidence of god's is irrelevant to this discussion?

Did you miss the part about leaving tangible, verifiable evidence?

There is no impasse - you have been proven wrong and all you have to offer are shoddy rationalizations.

Actually, you have received many answers. Like proving the OT miracles. Or immaterial intelligence. Your problem is that you know your hypothetical god would fail any such scientific test which is why you want to posit him as unscientific to begin with.
I have not received any answers. How would one go about testing the validity of the Old Testaments miracles? What would your hypothesis be and how would you go about gathering data for it? What does immaterial evidence have to do with an explicitly material God? Furthermore, why have you decided to resort to the immature debate tactic of exasperatedly declaring victory without actually answering my previous question?
