Because nobody actually answers the question. "Because it's bullshit" is the least interesting, least informative answer you can give to a question like this, and it does nothing except make the commenter feel clever. It gets especially annoying when legitimate answers are buried under dozens of "because God doesn't exist I'm so smart." Now an answer could reject the premise that a creator exists and sitll be interesting, but it'd have to do better than the armchair anthropology everyone here seems so fond of.
I hope you have the same opinion regarding philosophy, pure math and string theory, but also: Then don't fucking answer the question. Clearly some people, including the OP, see value in discussing beings whose existence cannot be verified in reality.
I hope you have the same opinion regarding philosophy,
I don’t care a iota about philosophy, in fact.
pure math
Pure math is a self-contained system that only occasionally is useful in reality
and string theory
String theory has no full international scientific consensus, so for now is just a possible model of reality. Does it bother you?
Then don’t fucking answer the question.
You seem to think I recognize your authority to give me orders. I don’t.
Clearly some people, including the OP, see value in discussing beings whose existence cannot be verified in reality.
As long as they postulate it as fiction, I don’t have an issue with that. The moment they posit they ideas are real, they’re exposed to scrutiny to some of those who care about what’s real and what’s not.
As a final note, your tantrum is somewhat amusing, but in a different sense is somewhat sad. Make of that what you want.

Discussing about a being whose existence cannot be verified in reality is an exercise in futility.
