    The air moves because of changing temperatures, the planet turning, rain, etc. What would it have to do with God. existing or not?

    The sun heats the earth's surface unevenly, so there are regions of warmer air and regions of cooler air, which can turn into regions of low and high pressure. The force resulting from that pressure difference causes wind.

    Incidentally, Marion, you may get better answers asking science questions like this in Science & Mathematics > Weather than in Religion & Spirituality. You don't need any knowledge of or interest in meteorology to be an atheist.

    Wind is caused by the heating and cooling of the planet.

    I mean, I could go into detail about jet streams and air temperatures, but somehow, i don't think you'd get that.

    If you're using wind as a comparison to your god, your comparison is flawed. We can feel the wind. We can see it move things, frequently. We've all had identical experiences with it. When someone says 'imagine the wind blowing against you' pretty much everyone knows exactly what that feels like. There's no universal differentiation between cultures on that one. Albeit people from a desert region might have a different image. We can even see the wind, when it forms cyclones.

    The point, is that your little sky pixie does none of this. No interaction with the world on a regular basis. No sensation of touch, taste, smell, sound, or sight. No universal experience of it, especially outside your heads, where it matters. No physical manifestation of any kind, at all. In a world full of phones with picture capabilities, not one of the 7 billion humans on this rock has captured your god. They take pictures of weather, or clouds, and attribute it to your god, but your god himself? Or something that could only be done by such a being? Nothing. At all.

    If this is seriously your best argument for your gullible, deluded devotion to your murderous sky fairy, take some friendly advice, and just give up. Or find an echo chamber full of fellow cultists who don't use their brains. Your mythological BS isn't convincing anybody.

    "Does it mean, if you don’t understand something, and the community of physicists don’t understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here’s a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn't understand [and now we do understand.] If that’s how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that’s getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that’s how you want to come at the problem." Neil deGrasse Tyson
