But then, if A can neither be falsified by experiment, nor can its converse be falsified, it’s simply outside of the domain of “scientific” knowledge; it cannot be evaluated in scientific terms. Which is to say, it’s a separate magisterium. (Notice that this doesn’t say any statement in that separate magisterium is true. It’s just part of a different system.)
No, it’s entirely unreal. This ‘superior being’ would have created an entire timeline in which it did not intervene, because it erased any influence it had over events from that timeline, so from any perspective within the timeline, an observer could only conclude that the being did not exist.
If it were impossible even in theory to detect this being from within the timeline, then the being wouldn’t be in the same universe as the events in that timeline, and wouldn’t actually exist.
