I'm not claiming that at all. I am claiming that Stimbo can't just say there is no indication of God in the experiment until he rules out indications of God in all elements of the experiment. Stimbo is just taking it as axiomatic that conserved symmetries are not an indication of God when he has no idea why symmetries are conserved in the first place. He then concludes that none of the elements of the experiment indicate the presence of God. His conclusion is one of his axioms.

The argument I am making isn't an argument for God. It is an argument that Stimbo has no justification for the claim he made and the logic by which he arrives at his conclusion is fatally flawed.

I cannot speak for Stimbo, he can/will do that himself.

However, your argument postulates something that is unnecessary. The experiment would look the same with or without god. So adding god is pointless. Unless, you can show that god is necessary for the experiments to behave the way they do, your point is mute.

Also, your argument allows for any mythical being to exist to maintain the symmetries.

Finally, adding some mythical being doesn't explain anything. You're answering a mystery with a bigger mystery.
