Fun gamble: Make a huge causal diagram as part of the discussion, and once people bring up the metaphysical God argument, point at the whole diagram and say “Okay, if God is metaphysical, then he’s the rules by which the diagrams operate. There, look at this diagram. You’re looking at God.”
I doubt it’d work, but the thought made me chuckle.
