General relativity predicts gravitational waves.  A result of that
prediction, elaborate measurement techniques have been devised like
computational filtering of observatory data (Einstein @ Home) or
superconducting devices to detect polarization of the cosmic microwave
background (POLARBEAR 2).      It's not a single thing to measure , but also
other measurements of related phenomena, like the perihelion precession of
Mercury.   

What sort of things does it make sense for [a]theists to say and do, and
does these things occur (instead of the opposite) in a statistically
significant way?

I don't understand that concept of "validator" at all. For glucose, you talk
about multiple measures.  It sounds like you're saying a more accurate
measure is the validator for a less accurate measure. These are all concrete
things: urine, blood, etc. But then you go on to say a conceptual notion is
the best validator.  Is a conceptual notion a more accurate measure than a
concrete measure?  I don't get it.
