Humor me for a minute please my friends.

Is it possible to accumulate evidence of a lack of evidence without pointing to the lack of evidence and saying "Observe this lack of evidence"?

In other words, is it possible to gather evidence of something without pointing at the thing evidenced?

No, I do not think so. I've tried this from several angles, and I come back to the same conclusion. "Observe this lack of evidence" is about all one can say; a lack of confirmation does not verify or falsify a statement in and of itself. It's the classic "Insufficient data" rephrased.

Yes.

The deific hypothesis has a necessary consequence which is falsifiable.

Free will.

Throw in some modus tollens and you're in business.

Oh, goodie...
We're gonna play "symantic antics"...one of my very favorite games!!
Can you prove that you are not totally alone...no universe, no internet, nothing...and that all you experience is not a delusion of your own mind??
I don't even exist! You can't prove that I do....

Indeed... four or five years of beginning studies in Buddhist logic should give you enough to toss about.

If you don't believe then don't believe. Why must you try to discredit what others need to believe in?

Quite possibly, perhaps.
