@magitweeter @Radical_EgoCom I'm not talking about nonexistence. Ive only ever talked about existence, which is something I understand much better.

If you said you were convinced quarks did not exist I certainly wouldn't point you at anything or try to convince you. I have no stake in anyone's opinion on the existence of quarks. I would instead have interrogated you on how you came to be certain of the nonexistence of an imperceptible object. To me that's a thorny epistemological problem that I find fascinating.

I don't do that with people who are sure that God doesn't exist due to negative experiences in the past. But you seem to be pretty reasonable, so if you want to tell me how you've come to be certain that an imperceptible object like god doesn't exist I'd be interested to hear about it.

All I'm saying here is that both God and quarks have explanatory force within which appropriate worldviews. It's slightly disingenuous to say they're unspecified. Like I said there are over four billion Christians and Muslims. Many of them believe in God, which means God must have explanatory force in their worldviews. That's a specification.
