Right.
Because God Cannot. Possibly. Exist. This is known and understood by all who have any brains.
Strawman.
Most likely wasting my time but whatever, nobody is saying that. There might be evidence of a god, somewhere. Unlikely as it is, it's improbability doesn't preclude it's possibility.
But consider a logical and rational approach for a second. Say a magical, fantastical event were to occur, and this supernatural event was to be understood and accepted by all as beyond our current understanding of 'reality', would the next rational and logical thing be to automatically presume it was this a god, and not only a god, but your very specific version of a very specific type of God? why the preclusion of a god and not an as of yet unknown agent or structure? Why The continual automatic need to jump to conclusions? Why no want or desire to find out more?
Wouldn't one feel silly if one attributed a given event to your specific version of a god, only to find out if was an alien race, or indeed perhaps another deity, or something else entirely?
