Thank you
To me, the biggest question is always, "How can we distinguish whatever a God is from nothing at all?" If we have no way to do so, we have no reason to think there is any such thing, until such time as further evidence is presented. Whatever that may be. But there's been nothing new of significance in thousands of years, just more contrived fallacious arguments. Attempts to show the bible "isn't completely wrong" are hardly convincing that it's infallible. Which it clearly isn't.
And if part of God involves being a property of something else, being in everything, or of everything, again how do we distinguish this from this not being the case, and things being no more than what they seem?
The language used to describe a God is almost always negative, saying what it isn't, and why we can't detect it.
We only have this one reality to go by. If this reality is meant to be permeated or created by a God in some way, how do we know what the universe would otherwise have looked like? We have no comparison to make. And science declares the need for supernatural intervention entirely unnecessary almost as far back as the big bang. In other words it's a needless assumption, with no basis.
