The very first book of the Bible tells us that God made the heavens, earth, sun and moon.
That's why I thought it would be pretty simple to test the God hypothesis.
I heard they found a giant cosmic finger print inside a volcano. Also scientists have detected a distant residual echo near the edge of the universe, they believe it is repeating, "Let there be light" over and over, and every time that happens a new star is born somewhere. Also black holes have been consuming fig trees at an increasing rate as the last days are approaching.

Books are not evidence.
I always find it telling when theists just point to the bible as proof. Have you been to a barnes and noble? Lots of books claiming all sorts of things (lizard people, anyone?). It's a book, written by people with their own biases and agendas.
Testable, repeatable, measurable evidence in the present day.
No one has provided it. That's pretty telling on the existence of god.

I would disagree slightly. If we had an evidence table, I'd place such books on it. But that would be pretty flimsy evidence.

The amount of atheist ignorance and one-liner provocations to Irkle reveal how deep-seated and dominant is the presumptuousness and bias that clouds their ability to recognize that their incessant requests for scientific evidence of God are clearly and irrefutably a category mistake.

Lets see. Where are we? Oh yes, the A&A forum. Where theists come to argue with atheists. Why do theists come to the A&A forum to argue and debate with atheists? Because they wish to prove atheists wrong.
If theists come here to debate with atheists about God, why do they continually get their panties in a wad when the atheists ask for some sort of confirmation for what the theists claim?
I have responded in depth and with substantive comments, but when someone simply dismisses 4 years of university education as a Google search, but can not provide the text for that search, then one knows it is a waste of time to provide more than short comments.
And many of us are aware of the creationist tactic where they ask for evidence and then dismiss it with their usual misrepresentations. Do you really think we are going to waste our time?

Irkle came in punching, Irkle received their just reward. Irkle is a jargonaut, just like you, but at least can provide some evidence for some of his claims.

Yes, you have no credible evidence. Twist this fact in any way you want, but your verbiage is admitting you have no credible evidence.
Our inability to see it is a limitation of our scopes and the time scale God works under. But Yes, God is doing just that all over the observable cosmos (and perhaps beyond).
Because arbitrary assertions are as good as evidence...
