I am an atheist and would be fine if we found evidence of literally any kinda god. I am making a determination based on what I have to work with, if I have more to work with I will make a new determination.

You do have to admit, from the theist pov, it is a bit disturbing that everything you can say about God is pretty much what you could say a 100 years ago. Everything we have learned hasn't added to that body of knowledge. Why is that?

And take that logic one step further. How much has been discovered and learned in the last century that was previously attributable to God by theists because we didn't understand it? Doesnt the shrinking list of cosmic unknowns imply a diminish role for a god in our "organized" existence?

The tri-omni has been phoning it in the past century.

Colloquially known as "the god of the gaps". If you put your faith in god's power based on the unknowable, then god's power continually decreases as the unknowable becomes known.

Well, there's Brahma orbiting Pluto right in this picture, what other evidence do you need?

Because God wills it to be that way.
