Well, getting back to unicorns, I disagree that God is more likely than either leprechuans or unicorns.  Plenty of people have claimed to have seen leprechauns--at least in Ireland--and there's a ton of literature on unicorns throughout history.  We know there are horses, why not a horse with a horn.  As far as why unicorns and leprechauns haven't been seen by lots of people, they're both extremely shy and have supernatural abililties to hide.  As PP put it upthread, both consist of "the ordinary understanding of the thing."

In fact, if we're to believe what we read in various holy books, God is a big show-off:  he wants to talk to people.  He's always throwing his weight around in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, etc, etc...  But suddenly he's all shy in the day-to-day reality we actually inhabit?  No, this is evidence against him.  Imagine if a key aspect of the "unicorns theory" was that they love people, and spend their days performing feats of kindness for humans.  The god of the bible is supposed to be an involved god.  Unicorns are shy, retiring creatures who don't want to be found.[/quote]
