Short answer is: Black Holes. They are not invisible, but we cannot see them by naked eye. God is not invisible. Our eyes are just too inferior to spot him.

Shorter answer: God is not invisible. God is nonexistent.

Black holes are not invisible.

Short answer is: Black Holes. They are not invisible, but we cannot see them by naked eye. God is not invisible. Our eyes are just too inferior to spot him.

Long answer: It's a matter of events. If a certain event happened; we shall see God. He sees us, but we can't see him because the event didn't happen yet.

According to Islam; only some humans will have the blessing of seeing God; they shall witness the "event" that will make them see God.

A larger portion of mankind though, will miss seeing God, according to my personal belief they will be locked inside the Event Horizon of a nasty black hole called "Hell".

God exists. We can see the effects of his power all around us: from the universe to death to sex to eating to sleeping.
So you infer God's existence from what you see around you?  I'd like to know what your starting point is?

I do not believe those are mutually exclusive options: that God's presence is blindingly obvious AND invisible to our sight. Kinda like you do not stare directly at the sun.

God’s presence is blindingly obvious only because the obviousness come completely from total blindness.

Hide & Seek is the favorite game of things that don't exist, children, and adults with overactive imaginations.

Seeking, and insisting something is hiding so as to not look stupid for seeking, and then when asked how it can be known, wave vaguely in random directions exclaiming “ it is blindingly obvious that’s right there, here, no, there, everywhere”.

This is nonsense. 

Black holes do not prove a super cognition exists. 

It is true we cannot see the interior of a black hole. It is also true we know black holes exist because of the effect they have on the material around them we can observe. But you are still gap filling. You have no evidence that black holes prove that a super cognition caused everything.
