There may be no evidence that god doesn't exist

But there's plenty of evidence that the god of the bible/torah/koran doesn't exist. Mountains of it. All three books are scientifically and historically innacurate.

So the only 'god' we have left to believe in if we disregard these three books is one we don't know anything about, since by lying outside of the realm of physical evidence, there is nothing upon which to base our idea of him.

We don't even know if he's intelligent or not, or simply a dumb microorganism consisting entirely of fecal matter. There's certainly not intelligent god which interferes with our universe - if there was one, there would be evidence of him interfering.

Meh

so some books written, edited etc. by the organised religions are inaccurate.

Doesn't prove anything either way. The being could exist but the write up is wrong. Hardly unusual in journalism.

I know we don't know either way. That's what I've been saying.

You missed the point of the book

Which is that we don't know either way, but it's highly unlikely for there to be an intelligent being involved, since evidence is to the contrary. The only thing the creator needed to do to create the early universe is provide an enormous amount of energy and nothing else. Anything could've done that.

The idea that such a creator is in the image of man is a bit of a bold and presumptive claim on the part of man. Downright chauvanism, in fact.
