Hmmm, well then Nietzsche is as much alive is God is. If we're talking about verifiable existence, Nietzsche's bones will show that he did at least once live. There's no equal proof where God is concerned. And if we're talking about conceptual existence, God may have been around for longer, but both still exist in books and in minds.

That we didn't create ourselves or the universe only means that
we didn't. It doesn't mean that there definitely is a God who did. All it means is that we don't know,
yet.
