Claim they knew after the event took place. Also miracles? Today's magicians fool us pretty easily but at least we know it's an illusion, back then people thought lightning was a godly thing sent by the gods. Obviously simple tricks back then were more than just illusions. Mix it with a good lie and you have yourself a human-god. Also the rising from the dead, any evidence for this? Once again, you're just taking their word for it.
So Jesus was just an ancient David Copperfield? I find that pretty tough to believe. There is lots of evidence believers accept for Christ's resurrection, there is no evidence you will accept given your worldview.

The infallible Triune God of scripture who cannot lie says that Thor does not exist; you can't have better proof than that.

Define your god.
Man was created in the image of God, so to call God a man is as backwards as calling Walt Disney a cartoon character. God is omnipresent, so to say his home is in the sky is also wrong.

So get yourself to HD 126614 Ab, out in Taurus. Should be able to catch the year 1775 from there.
So you are appealing to Einstein's Theory of Relativity which assumes as convention beforehand that light travels at the same speed in all directions relative to the observer to prove that light travels in all directions at the same velocity relative to an observer? I asked you for proof, not this circularity garbage.

Is Stat being ironic? Surely not; I didn't think he had the wit. Oh, it's humbug.
The ironic thing is that everyone believes certain things without proof or evidence; atheists just don't fess up to this fact but then they go after other people for having the intellectual honesty to fess up to their assumptions.
