Let me give a hint, it may be, attributed with, wait for it, yep, omnipresence(snorts, laughs). The thing about omnipresent consciousness you should know is, that an omnipresent being, is naturally indivisible, given that you can’t be everywhere, whilst divided. Now, since this entity is everywhere, undivided, where could another entity, possibly be located. That there, would be a division of being, within an indivisible consciousness. An absurdity of the highest order, of the absurd.I don't really know what sort of an entity an omnipresent consciousness would be — SophistiCat

The God question is as old as God. If there is such a thing I doubt if it is particularly perturbed by what us plebs believe or don't believe.
What is most interesting is how the God thing can hijack the passions so readily and so easily. — Marcus de Brun
What kind of evidence would you consider? What kind of evidence would you expect of a 'supernatural cause of existence'? — Wayfarer
So, wayfarer, evidence I would accept would be based on the scientific method. But it appears that we both agree that since we are talking of a supernatural thing, unlikely any evidence would be possible. — Life101
the burden of proof is on you — Life101

Somehow God brought about the cosmos. We don't know how, and we almost certainly will never get an explanation — Bitter Crank
I don’t know how to quote officially — Starthrower
I for one can't make sense of beings before time creating time and so on. — dog
The only concept of God that I agree could exist is a kind of "sentient" universe. However, even if that is true, then it does not explain how the universe came to be — SnowyChainsaw
If god were everywhere there could be no one else in a distinct location, because it would void gods omnipresence. — ShowOfForce
Beware of a scientist who believes there is a god. I didnt take a gallup poll but most probably do not believe. Unless you include charatans like deepok chopra a scientist. Some would say Einstein was a believer, which is not true. Etc etc.
true scientists believe n the scientific method. And reasoning by observation or inference/experimentation. — Life101
Some evidence would be say, if one prays and asks for favors to the divine being or jesus, the favor would be provided every time. But since I know this s bunk and praying is useless, we know in advance evidence will never be provided. Thats just one example. t does get silly, of course. — Life101

To answer the OP's original question, god did make sense, but he was superseded a long time ago. — Txastopher
opening the door is an act of faith. — Rank Amateur
No it's not, to the extent that one even considers what will happen in your example, it is a strong inductive inference. — Txastopher
I would hope it is a strong cogent argument with a high truth value that your spouse won't shoot you, but it is all argument until you open the door, and that is an act of faith. — Rank Amateur
