How is it atheist evos can deduce the existence of unseen objects via the behavior of something seen, but fail to make the same deductions concerning God ?
Could it be that they are missing something ?
​
Or maybe even "suppressing the truth" (Romans 1) ?

We actually have a name for things like this, like dark matter and dark energies. Noone is claiming to "know" these things... except for people like you.

Are you saying an unseen body does not exist even if the wobble orbit of a nearby says it does ?
Are you going to suddenly cripple this debate by some unflexible definition of the word "know" ?
​
You are wandering into a purely hypothetical field of science. At best, scientists theorize that dark matter and dark energies exist, nothing more. They don't know what these things are, they don't know how much of them there are, and they don't really know if these are the only things that cause the strange behaviors of the galaxies.
​
What I am trying to get at is the word "know" is used much more strictly in the fields of science than you think.
