doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And if you can't detect it in any other way, and if it is a muddled, incoherent concept to begin with, and if there are no other reasons to think it exists, it probably doesn't exist. |

Is that argument still good when it comes to Gods you don`t belive in?
If not
than why should it be a good argument, when it comes to God you belive in?

Just because you can't see it...doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Example: Oxygen Good will. Sanity ! |

There is no evidence whatsoever for any of the following - Jehovah (a.k.a. Yahwey, God)
- Santa Clause
- Unicorns
- Sasquatch
- Teapots circling Mars
- Leprechauns
- A flood that killed all but a handful of humans.
- Atlantis
- Goldilocks
- Rumplestilskin
- Snow White
Just because there is no evidence, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. How many of the above do you believe are real?
