The original arguments about god has already been settled. There is no god as described in the bibles that christians buy or the korans that muslims read or the torahs of the jews.
Note that the original texts are widely known to be wrong, that believers most often have to make use of sophistry to "prove god" [i.e. "are you sure you even exist?", "god exists because it is defined as existing"], and that some even deny reality [i.e. "evolution is not true"] in order to maintain that they have not lost the argument over the existence of their claimed god and of their corresponding "words" and "scriptures" or books.
Those who don't take their religious texts and tales as being literally true (especially the parts that are most obviously wrong) but as being a metaphor for some deeper truth and those who think there is a secret code or a "right meaning" for those words, have not shown their claims to be true since apparently there is no better translation or any key for a hidden meanings in the "sacred" texts.
All that is done is the creation of post fact exceptions and coincidence searching as camouflage for the incongruences in the original claim. [what's with the people claiming the world was going to end in the blood moon? (and in e2k? and more...?) I'm sure they have their post facto explanations all straightened down by now...]
That's what it is now-a-days, nothing but a case of believers having changed their faith's original beliefs so as to include ad hoc explanations for the facts that would have directly disproved those same beliefs.
