Of course, it's all bullshit designed to avoid admitting one's religious stories are silly and antiquated. Reasoning with such people is largely a waste of time.

We can look at your reasoning if you like.  I do hope it is better than the ad hominem seen so far!

Also, if science makes a naturalistic explanation of the evidence improbable, I don't think that helps your case.  It also doesn't show that it is false.

I stand corrected. It's not a dodge. It's sophisticated philosophy of science.  Rolleyes

You seem confused about the difference between mere claims and actual evidence. I don't think that helps your case. In any event, no: science doesn't falsify such claims. However, common sense coupled with an approach to the claims that doesn't require prior credulity to buttress a religious conclusion certainly argues against it. It's not my job to support your claims.
