God

God is a metaphor.

What is not true is that god is a large, elderly, English-speaking man with long white hair and a long white beard sitting in the clouds pulling invisible strings like some omniscient, omnipotent puppeteer.

God is one of those concepts that is, by nature, unprovable and undeniable.

And you can not just come up with some question to which we don't know the answer and say that since we don't know, then god must exist. The lack of an answer to a question does not prove anything other than the fact that we don't know the answer. Even if it is impossible to answer a question, that does not prove anything other than the impossibility of answering that question.
