- Point is what is real must be verified and justified as really real.
What is really real is the apple you can pluck, smell, feel, then eat for its nutrition.

Below is how Seeds prove his God exists as hidden somewhere and only revealed to a select few like him;

The above analogy is ridiculous, absurd and has no sense of reality.In this initial episode of - "Oh the Irony" - we are listening to the unborn Swanson twins, telepathically communicating with each other while still in their mother's womb:
- Twin one: "I wonder what mom looks like?"
Twin two: "What mom? I don't see any mom around here."
Twin one: "But I can somehow sense her presence."
Twin Two: "That's just your imagination playing tricks on you. There is no mom."
Twin one: "But..."
Twin two: "There are no buts about it. The only things that exist are the two of us, this watery substance, and that impenetrable barrier that surrounds us. So, tell me, genius, where is this mom you speak of? Prove her existence to me."
Twin one: "How can I prove her existence to you?"
Twin two: "If this imaginary "mom" truly exists, then why doesn't she reveal herself to us?"
Twin one: "I don't know why. Perhaps she has a good reason?"
Twin two: "You're insane. Again, there is no mom. Trust me because I am way smarter than you because I rely on the obvious truth and facts."
Twin one: "Well, can we at least agree to disagree?"
Twin two: "No! You are clearly a victim of wishful thinking. Again, trust me when I say - there is no mom!!!"
In reality, a fetus [single or twins] do not has self-awareness in the prenatal stage in the womb.
Even the born will only acquire self-awareness only after 7 years of age.
Anyone 'buying' the above argument to prove God exists and is hidden for the majority?
