Is it honestly so difficult to understand why a group of people would become frustrated when they are told that evidence exists all around them, if only they weren't blind/arrogant/obtuse? When pressed, you claim that this evidence is not like any other evidence. This is special pleading. You have failed to meet the burden of proof, no amount of posturing will change that. You could end this disagreement any moment you wished by providing evidence, or simply ignoring the thread.
RE: Theology
"The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion. Not anything can be studied as a science, without our being in possession of the principles upon which it is founded; and as this is the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing."-Thomas Paine
No man has ever said it better.
