This guy is interesting.....
https://cosmicfingerprints.com/god-of-gaps/
He brags about his talk called "If you can read this sentence, I can prove God exists." It was the longest running debate on Infidels, the world's largest atheist site on the net for over a decade. No one refuted him, he contends... and then he says this.....
"However I must be clear: I did not prove God exists. What I proved is
that there is a vast gap in our knowledge. A gap for which the only known solution is some form of intelligence."
I hate to be rude (I think), buuuuuuuuuut...........
Faithists....... logic escapes their every breath.

the picture would cause to ban somebody's images forever, because of 8x8 pixel sized part - in the middle of adamThe Creation of Adam is a fresco painting by Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, painted c. 1508–1512. It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which God breathes life into Adam, the first man.
as part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling it is ok since 500 years

The non-existence of god likewise exists. As an idea. A word. A picture.
For the record, I'm not saying so to build an appearance of equivalence. What is interesting is the logical implications of both statements.
Re: If You Can Read This Sentence, I Can Prove God Exists
It's as good as if God exists when someone conceives of his existence. As soon as someone does, there is a god. It doesn't matter if some form is actually a god or if the whispy wind carries his touch. I find arguments to say God doesn't exist to be interesting, mostly because they often carry good information to feed off of, but they are also ineffective. Because no matter how sound the argument is millions of people out there still have it that they know there's a god. He at least exists in their imaginations. And at this point, what's the difference if he's someone's imagination or if he's sitting on a cloud, or inhabiting an unknown dimension?

God of the Gaps fallacies are a dime a dozen among apologists, but most of them don't come right out and say that's what they're arguing. Give that guy props for transparency, I guess.
Re: If You Can Read This Sentence, I Can Prove God Exists
"God of the gaps" IS the fallacy. The only gaps are human ignorance.
"What Is Existence?" Feel free to point out any gaps in that question.
