Gosh, Don T, you are actually postulating Intelligent Design and putting it forth as a scientific theory! Wow! You really don't get science, do you? Or logic, either, with your statement that proving a negative is desirable or possible.

Here's the thing: there doesn't have to be any evidence against the existence of God, anymore than there has to be evidence for or against the existence of anything anyone could dream up. An example: given the degree of order that exists in the universe, I postulate the existence of a giant computer located in the center of the moon. It keeps gravity working. Please show me the evidence against this. Another: given that the universe is composed mostly of big balls of flame floating around, it seems obvious that Satan punched a bunch of holes in the cosmos so the flames of hell could leak into our reality. Again, please disprove this or admit it might well be true.
