God Yahweh Allah was a volcano.

Galatians 4:24

So, let me see if I understand this.

You think you can substantiate one bit of bible bullshit by quoting another bit of bible bullshit.

Have you really given any thought at all to the probability of that having much effect on a room full of atheists?

Are you honestly trying to say that the Jews didn't move around from one place to another?

Just in case the words 'pareidolia' and 'apophenia' don't ring a bell.

Pareidolia (play /pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- – "beside", "with", or "alongside"—meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech) and eidōlon – "image"; the diminutive of eidos – "image", "form", "shape". Pareidolia is a type of apophenia.

Apophenia is the experience of seeing meaningful patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.

The term was coined in 1958 by Klaus Conrad,[1] who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness", but it has come to represent the human tendency to seek patterns in random nature in general, as with gambling, paranormal phenomena, religion, and even attempts at scientific observation.

Thanks for that. 'Angels' in the Bible originate from flickering flames and gas leak optical distortions, chariots originate from clouds of ash rolling down volcanoes, etc.
