Let’s continue the metaphor. You make the assumption that the cat out of the house. Some cats are indoors only. It doesn’t matter whether or not I see the cat. My belief has no effect on it’s existence. I can choose to not believe that they have a cat and they’ve got one-even if I’ve never seen it. Disbelief in something doesn’t effect it’s existence.
They belief system you are describing is called, “God of the gaps.” It basically states that people have no explanation for a scientific occurrence so they attribute that occurrence to God. If you study philosophy, you’ll learn about it. Here’s the rub with it. Even if you were to discover a scientific explaination for every, single thing on the planet, you would still not disprove God’s existence. As the supposed atheist, it is your job to disprove God’s existence, and God of the gaps, doesn’t do that. It simply states there is another explanation for the same thing. God could just as easily have created whatever it was that caused the scientific phenomena.
Additionally, you still haven’t explained the countless billions of lives who have been transformed and improved by people believing, following, and accepting God.
