As it has been over an hour and there has been no response with any sort of logic used it has become obvious to me that you have no argument about the non-existence of God therefore God must exist because my God prevented you from being able to disparage him.

Iβm black and Iβm Catholic. Just mentioning Iβm black to piss off the racist white atheists who donβt believe in God because God made their face look like that.
You're right meteorology doesn't sit out to disprove Zeus just like astronomy doesn't aim to disprove Apollo but it does explain the weather through natural processes which removes the need to invoke a Thunder God as our knowledge grows we tend to retire mythical explanations in favor of evidence based ones
> I've never actually watched the earth revolve around the sun, in fact I have no real evidence that anything outside the sky actually exists.
True none of us has personally watched the Earth orbit the sun, we rely on centuries of accumulated evidence observation and math. That's how science Works building models that predict and explain what we can observe. By that logic I haven't seen Adams either but I trust the evidence for them every time I microwave my lunch
It's not nonsense! It's about explanatory power! Ancient myths like Zeus were early attempts to explain phenomena like thunder and lightning. Meteorology now offers evidence-based explanations for those same phenomena. So while it doesn't disprove Zeus the way a lab experiment might disprove a hypothesis, it replaces the need to invoke a supernatural cause with something observable and repeatable. That's how scientific understanding progresses. It's like explaining a rainbow with refraction instead of Iris the rainbow goddess. Not nonsense just how knowledge evolves.

No, we rely on centuries of accumulated emotions and sentiment. Theres no actual proof that theres anything above the sky, other than rain and the occasional unaccountable falling rock.

I reject your reality and substitute it with ancient Mesopotamian prophecies interpreted through Modern jazz

You're right the people throughout history have invoked different gods including the Christian God to explain what they didn't yet understand. But there's a difference in scope. Zeus was tied to specific natural events like thunder the Christian God is often framed as a source of everything. Morality purpose the origin of the universe that's not just a thunderbolt it's a cosmic thesis. So while science is retired a lot of Supernatural explanations for how things happen it doesn't always touch the deeper why. That's where the all theology still holds relevance for me. Also the last time someone claimed they heard Zeus talk to them they got a wellness check when someone says God spoke to them there's a whole book tour
> God revealed Himself to me when I was 24. I've told the story on here before. I witnessed a miracle.
That God must have been a Horse with a fly in its mouth.
