However, God being God, I cannot say with any high confidence that he does not exist in spite of the logic.
Um no. This is bad logic. It is merely splitting the baby out of some well intended but wrong headed sense of fairness and empathy.
We have tons of evidence that humans make up gods. We also know literally on a evolutionary and psychological level that human perceptions are notoriously flawed.
Science best data TO DATE, as it stands TO DATE, is running away from a god as any possible reality, and is also not a requirement to explain anything.
"We don't know" because we have not lived the future, does not mean we cling to the bad claims of the past. You are allowing the bad logic of "if ifs and butts were candy and nuts". That logic does not work, otherwise because we have not lived the future yet, the possibility of me farting a full sized Lamborghini out of my rear "might" happen because we have not lived the future yet.
The ability to string letters and or sound waves together, is only evidence that people make claims. It does not mean the claim is credible by default.
"Technically" and "semantically" means nothing. There are some claims simply not worthy of consideration. It is ok to throw bad claims in the trash and move on.
