Conversation between Theist and atheist

 A Conversation Between an Atheist and A Theist on the Evidence For Gods Existence:

Theist: God exists.
Atheist: Prove to me that a god exists. There is no sufficient empirical evidence for the existence of a god, so there is no necessary reason to believe in the existence of a god.
Theist: What makes you think that collectively verifiable evidence for a God exists? You cannot provide collectively verifiable evidence that your thoughts are your own and not that of another subject, so not all truths are collectively verifiable; some are only verifiable to oneself. So how do you know that God is a collectively verifiable entity rather than an entity that is objectively verifiable only to oneself through direct personal experience?
Atheist: To be honest, I was unaware of the distinction between collectively verifiable evidence and subjectively verifiable evidence.
Theist: So why do you keep demanding collectively verifiable evidence when not all truths have collectively verifiable evidence? Even if collectively verifiable evidence for God exists (which presumes that God is a spatial entity rather than a non-spatial entity), what would that evidence look like?
Atheist: I’m not really sure what that evidence would look like. Honestly, when a theist makes the positive claim that “a god exists,” I instinctively respond that “there is no sufficient evidence for gods existence” without even thinking about it, but the truth is that I do not know what evidence is necessary to sufficiently prove gods existence. Honestly, no theist has ever asked me this question before.
Theist: So how do you know that there is not already sufficient evidence for Gods existence? If sufficient evidence for God exists, and you don’t know what qualifies as sufficient evidence, then how can you make the claim that “there is not sufficient evidence for Gods existence?” If I were to give it to you, would you even be able to tell if it were sufficient or not? That would require knowledge of the Essence of God (in a limited respect), but you’re always asking the Theist for a definition and never provide one yourself! Tell me, if God exists, then what essential properties must God have such that God cannot exist without them?
Atheist: (insert your response here).
Theist: You seem to waiting for someone else to provide the sufficient evidence for Gods existence, but this evidence can only be found within yourself, either in experience, or in reason. But to find this evidence, you must part ways with the notion that the existence of God is absurd.

This universe doesn't exist unless if we are observing it

That solves the fermi paradox and has in its back the general relativity and the double slit providing the influence of observation on our reality Plato is correct about abstract forms beyond our existential experience like infinity Relativity goes deeper than we can imagine it gets into our subjective experience with the universe making it our mere creation theory of "relative observetism" There is the "unknown" realm this thing if it's a thing is no matter it's beyond the observer notation or even comprehension it cannot be observed thus described in detail yet it's possible to comprehend on abstract level as it is in its "normal" state and will change or form based on an observer ! When observed it's subjective form holds an experience for the observer a universe is shaped based on this type of observation in the realm of the unknown there is no such thing as a "verse" or gravity these all results of observational typology real

Can memory be called as fictional ?

-
What kind of evidence exactly do atheists want? What will atheists conclude after getting the evidence? How do atheists define reality relative to imaginary, and reality relative to illusion? They should be able to apply their point of view on reality to all the mental elements and material elements.  If all that exists is real and illusions also exist, then all the illusions become reality, can all the illusions be called reality? If I imagine the Eiffel tower, does imagining make it unreal? If it is real, then imaginations cannot be necessarily called non-existent.  God also exists in the form of memory, and God is not different from memory. So if God is fictional, then can memory be called fictional and imaginary? But, we all have memory, so how can it be called fictional? What is different between existence and non-existence, and reality and illusion from an atheist's point of view?  How do you define Reality as opposed to imaginary, and Reality as opposed to illusion?
