Why do you need to see God to believe in God?
Why should you believe if you can know ? If you can't, why should
you believe instead of not believing or go eating an hamburger ?
Seeing might make you know *that* you see, but it does not entail that
you know *what* you see, as you might be dreaming or hallucinating.
In general you believe something, not because you see it, but because
it fits well with your background knowledge. I can't see the set {0,
1, 2, ...}, nor really define it, yet I hardly doubt that it makes
sense, as it explains a lot of other things in which I already tend to
believe (like the non existence of a bigger prime, or the existence of
universal numbers, the real numbers, etc.).

I'd like to.
So we can keep using the word "theology" and keep some academic
departments that have no subject.
This would also include political science, arts, gender studies,
french literature. Are you willing to go that far, and make what
doesn't build bridges or bake bread, something to be learned as a
podcast? Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. Dump them all.
Right?
I can point to art, people with genders, and french literature.
I've run a political campaign. But I've never seen a god.
