..for theists tend to reference silly anecdotes. 

That was an analogy, not an anecdote.

It was an analogy to illustrate the fallacy that you were making.

I have solely stipulated scientifically observable statistics.

Separately, your banana bound commentary classifies appropriately in the anecdotal domain; no-logical comparison occurred.


Definitions:

anecdotal
ˌanɪkˈdəʊtl/
adjective

  1. (of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.
analogy

əˈnalədʒi/
noun

  1. a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
    "an analogy between the workings of nature and those of human societies"
