If the sun -for example- showed itself in front of you, you will evaporate.

Theists claim that God is the creator of these celestial bodies; let alone the Islamic claim that 7 heavens exist; or with the humble science we have we can interpret that as 7 universes ? it's a scientific fact that such universes probably exist; to infinity even.
It just arrogant to expect the creator of all of that to appear in front of you. You can see hollywood stars on T.V only; they never appear in front of me. I know they exist because prophets of the media told me via T.V. I believe in God just like the prophets told me via holy books.
I can see the work of God around me; just like I see the work of Edward Norton.
It's an argument from design at its best. I just think it's quite not right to believe movie sets and neglect holy books and celestial evidence.
Was there a contest to see who can create a post with the most false analogies that I didn't hear about?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
