    Metaphysics is by definition outside of physics, and hence is indistinguishable from non-existence (not being a real thing). The moment metaphysics or a metaphysical entity (God) interacts with the physical world, that mechanism of interaction would become testable/verifiable - and cease to be “Godly” (it’d become a testable, verifiable, probabilistically consistent mechanism of physical dimension).

    Thus an interventionist God can’t exist in any meaningful or knowable sense, and a non-interventionist God may as well not exist for now.
