Can you see where I expanded on my point and repeatedly said that I know of no way to know?
" I said I know of no way to know either way." (me) post 1890
In the same post I said, "I said there is no way now to know."
That is also true. That's a statement that is open to testing, but I am aware of nothing that is objective evidence for a God. Like all such statements, it's tentative, like statements of facts are in science.
Now, for the 3rd or fourth time, what is your evidence for the existence of a deity? Put your cards on the table or fold. This is getting tedious. If I am wrong that there is no objective evidence for God's existence, enlighten me.

This use of terms as 'deity' is a debasing tactic that is obvious to all. As is this demand for evidence, when a review of thousands of posts from these little megalomaniacs clearly demonstrates they will accept nothing from you before there perverted little courts.
If this standard is applied to evo, a close look reveals that the evidence is only evidence based on theory (upon theory) and the theory is a pre determined conclusion and thus violates sound scientific principles.

You already have knowledge of God. God's existence is plainly evident to you. You resist it and attempt to suppress it, but you already have it, and it is implicit in your very replies.
You cannot even get out of the starting gate demanding evidence, or using logic, or rationality, or subjecting God to your scientific tests, believing what you mind tells you is true, or objecting to His existence, etc., without first assuming some standard of truth, the intelligibility of which you take for granted, but which utterly depends on God's existence. You acknowledge these sorts of metaphysical realities in your replies, in fact, you presuppose them, but in your world view you have no way to account for them.
I can go into more detail. And/or, if you will, read this short, classic piece. I can't think off the top of my head where it has been better stated. It will save a lot of time and bandwidth.
Do I expect you to agree with any of this? No.
Cordially,
