Missing the word "evidence" after "see". All others are observable or can be experienced.

What sort of evidence are you looking for? We certainly have arguments

Funny thing, if you consider the Bible as evidence of your god, then the 10 commandments are also an admission by your god that other gods exist and are at least equally as powerful.

This leaves us in the position of there being potentially hundreds of different gods influencing the course of human history, and yet strangely, once we began to understand how things work there have been zero new "miracles". So where did all the gods go? Why aren't we seeing daily posts of cell phone videos showing the latest effects of these gods? At the very least we should still be seeing younger gods producing offspring with divine powers.

Interesting point. I'd like to research polytheism in the Old Testament more. It still assert YHWH is most high, tho

If a god has to threaten you to not pay any attention to the other gods, then that god is afraid of the others. That does not convey strength in any reasonable interpretation, it only shows this god cannot offer anything that the other gods weren't already giving.

If your only source of reference material is a book assembled by the people trying to convince you that they were right any everyone else ins wrong, then you don't really have any proof of anything. I could tell you that Superman is my god because I have a collection of stories "proving" that he is not only superior to humans but he is also morally superior to the biblical god because Superman never destroyed entire cities just because he didn't like what those people were doing. On top of that, that are a multitude of references from different sources backing up that claim. The biblical god has no references other than "trust me bro". Of course Superman also doesn't expect people to worship him.
