the issue is however that you have narratives running in your own life with an identical purported divinity - so what's the difference?Indeed.
Once upon a time, people were struck dead by 'magic'. In time, we grew to understand that they were really 'struck down' by a bacterium.
I'm sure we'll never agree on the god concept in general, but I will always place my faith in the inductive methodology that has enriched our lives and understanding rather than a purported divinity any day.
here's a classic example of such divinityAs to the OP: Can god (as yet defined feasibly) exist? Yes.
Is it probable? No.
if a set (ie this cosmic manifestation from the macro to the micro level) remains unknowable (IOW all you can lay claim to is a metonymic slice of knowledge with no ability to grasp the extent of the whole picture), how the hell did you determine the probability.
For instance if I have a six sided dice with the numbers 1-3 plus three sides that are covered with tape, how can you determine the probability of what lies under the tape?
The other sides may have the numbers 4-6 (based on my value based experience of other 6 sided dice) but it could also have the numbers 28, -2 and 4x or even a smily face or chinese characters
yet you still can't see that you are simply talking of how you can conceive god doesn't exist?On that, I am in complete agreement with you.
