Steve, face facts here. Nobody is going to suddenly turn around and suddenly start believing your unevidenced assertions. The fact of the matter is that even if we allowed your premise that you don't need extraordinary evidence to prove an extraordinary claim you still lose because a) you've no evidence for your god assertions, and b) every single thing you attribute to god has a more rational naturalistic hypothesis with, most importantly, evidence behind it.

The Bloomsberg tablets are only partially translated and published, but they are even older.

Nought to do about Christianity, but the environmental, dendrochronological and physical evidence is amazing.

Roman Britain is cool and evidenced.
