Does a God exist?

[Angrboda]

You have a bunch of circumstantial evidence.  So do they.  Both cases are weak.  I've yet to see a difference.

You are comparing apples and oranges.I don't think it is reasonable to think the NT authors were simply mistaken (as there is ample reasons to think UFO people are)--especially with the additional evidence of the existing churches. The only plausible explanation of the contents being false is intentional deception. That would have been quite an undertaken and I think we would need to answer the question why?

You don't think it reasonable. Well I guess that settles that.

The additional evidence of the existing churches only demonstrates that people believed, not that they believed rightly.

And then you present a false dichotomy that it was either mistake or deception. And since you don't believe it was mistake, then it had to be deception.

Your claiming the two cases are different doesn't demonstrate that they are different. Believers in UFOs have their rationalizations. Believers in conspiracy theories have theirs. As do believers in Loch Ness, in Krishna, in Allah, etc. You all look the same from the outside. You have an incredible belief with a bunch of mundane, inconclusive evidence. And you all think you are different.
