Metaphysics is by definition outside of physics, and hence is indistinguishable from non-existence (not being a real thing). The moment metaphysics or a metaphysical entity (God) interacts with the physical world, that mechanism of interaction would become testable/verifiable - and cease to be “Godly” (it’d become a testable, verifiable, probabilistically consistent mechanism of physical dimension).
Thus an interventionist God can’t exist in any meaningful or knowable sense, and a non-interventionist God may as well not exist for now.
True. Well, now that that’s settled, who’s everyone’s favorites for the playoffs?
You can’t see the wind but its real
That’s the entire point… wind is a physical part of our world
The wind doesn’t usually molest children.
Wind can be measured by its effect on the physical reality we can confirm is objective through observation and experimentation; imaginary friends need believers to have any effect at all, otherwise dead gods and gods with no followers would be measurably different categories.
The effects of the wind are producable, observable, and repeatable. Science.
And we can prove it
