It sounds like you're assuming that the concept has some truth to it right from the get go. And if no one understands the concept, why did you tell us what god does or does not require, and say that he has given us free will. How do you know that?

It is the acme of mans arrogance that he believes he can either define, or dismiss, with authority the existence of something with the power to create the universe.

Is it arrogant to expect that the god claim stand or fall on its merits? And if it does fall, is it arrogant to take the position, that until further evidence or reasoning can be provided, the claim can be dismissed, just as the claim regarding the existence of an orbiting tea kettle or the dragon in your garage?
