No, no, that's not right. Listen...
Now... the problem posed by the question of the existence of Thor or Odin or Freya for that matter,
is that traditional beliefs usually ascribe to them various supernatural powers.
Supernatural beings may be able to conceal and reveal themselves for their own purposes.
In addition, according to concepts of Thor, Thor is not part of the natural order,
but the ultimate creator of nature and of the scientific laws.
According to what you just said, these gods are viewed as part of the explanatory structure
needed to support scientific conclusions, and any powers they possess are, strictly speaking, of the natural order -
that is, derived from their place as originator of nature.
You argued that the domain of science is limited to the empirically observable
and limits the domain of the gods to the unprovable. And since these gods (of the kind to which the arguments relate)
are neither entities in the universe nor mathematical objects, it is not obvious
what kinds of arguments or proofs are relevant to their existence.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to this?
Not really.
