Where's the proof that a god even exists? Except for the Planck time, physicists have all but explained how everything got here.

It’s a joke bruh. Relax.

And I’ll just say too that science has explained many things, sure. But to say it’s explained “how everything got here” is so far from the truth I’m not even going to try and argue here.

Is Planck time even proof of anything let alone god? I mean, even if some glowing entity descended from the clouds and declared, “Behold, I am God,” would that actually convince anyone? We’d just have another person claiming to be god -- which, let’s be honest, is not exactly a rare event on this planet.

What even counts as sufficient proof of God? A signed affidavit? A peer-reviewed miracle?A TED Talk with miracles? The whole “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” thing kind of ruins the whole premise. Realistically, we’ll never have proof. At best, we can conclude that proof of God is permanently out of reach.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I am God.

Exactly. Unprovable sounds like a definition for something that doesn't exist.

If the universe is infinite in size it is a statistical requirement for a god, or a being that has ability we would consider to be godlike, must exist somewhere.

Where did you come up with that nonsense?
