I have seen germs through a microscope and grown bacterial cultures in Petri dishes. I have measured magnetic fields, seen their effects on iron filings and used them to communicate. I experience the effects of gravity daily. All of these things can be measured and their effects seen in daily experience. God, on the other hand, has no measurable effect that can't be explained through some other phenomenon such as the aforementioned air, germs, magnetism and gravity. Mr. Myers has a failure to grasp very basic ideas of what is and is not detectable and fails to realize that sometimes unseen doesn't mean undetectable.<br /><br />There is independently verifiable evidence of these unseen things. There is no independently verifiable evidence for his god or any other god. A small magnet can move a paper clip. I've yet to see a god do this. Bacteria can turn milk into yogurt. When the molecules in my cereal bowl spontaneously turn into yogurt without any bacteria, that will be some evidence. The air can blow my hat off. When my hat lifts off my head and flies across the room with no wind, then I'll give it some consideration.<br /><br />You're right, Will.
