re: #341 Alaska Martyrs’ Brigades

Why? I don’t think it follows in any way. This confuses the detectability of the beings as such (crudely speaking, their “bodies”) and detectability of their effects on our universe, which can be however major.

I don’t think that’s a confusion. If you can’t detect anything he’s doing, or himself, then there’s no reason to suspect he’s doing anything, or exists.

That’s seems like an obviously untrue statement. How can you prove that such a being cannot produce lighting?

Because we can show what does produce lightning. So if you’re just asserting that some lightning— but never the one that’s tested or observable— is his lightning, then sure.
