No. He can't.
You're completely ignoring the claims that you're implying.
Imagine if I said, "Superman can exist".
By accepting the common definition of superman, I'm implying that the laws of physics don't apply in a variety of situations. I'm implying that things proportioned like humans can be as dense as metal without having extra mass. I'm implying that same human shaped thing can lift ridiculous amounts of weight, generate lasers from its retina, emit and then receive back X-rays with the SAME set of retinas, and do a host of other things which we know to be impossible.
Not possible. Not unknown.
Impossible.
If you imply Superman can exist, then you either aren't aware of the laws of physics or are just content to ignore them.
The god hypothesis (a (terrible) scientific hypothesis) has similar problems.
God needs to be able to contradict many proven laws including conservation of energy. We know through science that complex intelligence things don't just "happen" or "always exist". They
require an explanation in the form of a gradual process (evolution in the case of living things) or a designer (in the case of fabricated objects). Or the like.
So, when you say "god exists" what you're really saying is, "conservation of energy is false, complex things always exist or pop into existence, and everything that's proven in science is effectively wrong. And 1+1=3". Because we know that all to be false, the god hypothesis is also false. This is why you need to check your math. You cannot claim that you're paying attention to evidence
and believe in god. He either exists or he doesn't. One or the other. He doesn't exist for you and not exist for me. That makes his existence a scientific question.
Now, are you going to do the honest thing and concede or are you going to fall back on faith / intellectual dishonesty as I predict you will?
