I did not say that you were lying.
You are simply wrong.

It's not doubt, Godschild. It's a simple observation. Even if the Big Bang theory is eventually shown to be incorrect, it is still evidence-based.
Belief in gods is not.

...which changes precisely nothing about the fact that we accept those things that he could support with evidence and reject those which he could not.

If someone standing beside me is suddenly shot, I don't have to find the shooter to know that there is a gun involved.

No, Godschild. Dark matter has evidence supporting it. Gods do not.

Because the Bible is not evidence. Point blank, period. There is and can be no arguing on this point.
If you believe the claims contained within the Bible, then that is fine. But the Bible is not evidence. It does not contain any information which logically supports the conclusion of "a god exists", any more than The Last Unicorn proves the existence of King Haggard. At best, its stories are unverified; more commonly, they are demonstrably fiction. In neither case is it evidence.
You are free to believe whatever you like. If adopting an irrational belief makes you happy, then more power to you.
But when you start claiming to have actual evidence, you're going to have to start presenting some.
