<p>The test of a false god, indeed for ANY god, can be summed up in one word: <strong>EVIDENCE</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Is there any?</li> <li>Can anyone examine it?</li> <li>If so, <strong>Where Has It Been All This Time?</strong></li> </ul> <p>The whole concept of a hidden god that fails to show itself has been a sore spot for me since before I became an atheist, and it is a central reason why I have neither time nor interest in supposed gods now. As an engineer and a pragmatist, my attitude is simple: something either exists or it doesn’t, and existence should be demonstrable. Finally, as regards all of the above:<br/><br/><em>If you can’t show it, you don’t know it.</em><br/>– Aron Ra</p>
