If his bullshit was so obvious we would all believe. So he either thinks we are in wilful denial or that we are fibbers. Or, and he won't accept this, he may be wrong.
You repeatedly miss my point. I don't care if you don't find the evidence compelling. I argue against those who are confused about what a claim of "no evidence" means and I discuss things with those who want to discuss the evidence there is. As it pertains to this thread, there is no such thing as extraordinary evidence. Only evidence.
No one is confused. You're hung up on you definition of evidence. We're hung up on the fact that none of what you call evidence is nothing more than evidence that people believed. There is no outside corroborating evidence and nothing that doesn't have a more likely explanation. You decided that this evidence points only to god. The evidence didn't lead you there.
