And others, by happenstance of geography and culture, will have competing gawds as inventions of men who wrote competing versions of "holy texts".You forgot to add supernaturalism and gawds inhabiting magic spirit realms.Intelligence is unseen by the naked eye but we know it exists by the result of its existence.
Love is unseen by the naked eye but we know it exists by the fruits of its existence.
Wind is not seen by the naked eye but we know it exists when we feel its force.
Electricity isn't seen by the naked eye but the result of its power is known to all.
There are many forces that aren't seen but exist.
True (since I've never heard of a "gawd"). However, I do believe that God exists in the Heavenly realm. We know of His existence because:
Romans 1:20, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
Jeremiah 51:15, ""He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding."
We know their gawds are true, thus your gawds are not.
