Second question:
Why can’t empirical investigation detect a god? What distinctive qualities of god render him undetectable? Perhaps you’re the closed-minded one to assume empirical investigation could never gather any information about god. That sounds like a metaphysical commitment on your part.
Is this an issue of detection, or an issue of gnostic detection? If God is real, then it may be that literally everything you measure or observe has God written on it. In this case, God is so ubiquitous that the God idea fails to differentiate anything from anything else. And that's what detection is-- noticing things that stand out of the background of space in some way.
