i would ask you why you are not doing more with a revelation from God than using it as a trump card in a theological discussion? then i would seek to verify your claim through the processes we have been given to verify your status as a prophet.
(You would be the first to make such claims)
So you would want some evidence. OK now we are making progress.
Now imagine it wasn't me saying that god had spoken to me. Imagine it was a book where someone had written that god had spoken to them stating that the flood was not a true story and I was saying that this book demonstrated that Noah did not exist. What would you say then?
Perhaps you should first identify the method in which the "evidence" is being weighed. (I think it would save us some time in your step by step)

After all, if I were to believe in god, I would have to believe that he gave me the ability determine what is real and what isn't through an understanding of what is possible in reality, yet he wants me to ignore all of this in favor of unrealistic stories with no evidence that were written by people with a very limited understanding of the cosmos.Do you truly think our understanding of the Infinite Cosmos is anywhere close to complete? Then couldn't it be said you are working with a very limited understanding of the cosmos right now? So now the question now becomes What is the difference between the faith you have in your "Very Limited understanding of the Cosmos", and mine?
Does this make sense? Apparently only to those that are willing to toss reason out the window in the first place.
Besides the obvious blind eye pointed towards what you believe.

Genesis in a nutshell......
Satan fucks up gods divine plan with a few well chosen words.
God then spends next six thousand years trying to fix things up
AND STILL HASN'T SUCCEEDED!!!
Well played Satan.
Very well played.
Please explain. What did satan mess up, and what has God done that did not work?
