How about a photograph thoroughly vetted scientifically, along with eye witness testimony, and audio recordings of the same event?
That would be 3 pieces of corroborative evidence.
Can anyone provide the same for Odin? If not then it isn't exactly "potato, potaho" is it?
You'll have to clarify what is on the audio recording as I have not heard this claim before. Is it the voice of God? If not, it doesn't really add anything to the photograph and testimonies.
So you're claiming that an unexplained light spot on a photograph, and people's interpretations of that event are evidence for God. The problem is that you cannot directly connect the evidence to the claim/interpretation of the evidence. All you have is an unexplained light. That could, for all we know, be the workings of Loki once again, or a flaw in the film, or evidence of faulty processing in the dark room, or any of a million other explanations. It's like someone who sees an unexplained light in the sky and believes it is evidence that extra-terrestrials are visiting the planet. No. It's not. It's just an unexplained light. Just like your photograph. What people interpret it to be is not itself evidence of anything. So, no, the so-called evidence you present doesn't in any obvious way link up with the claim. Your "evidence" isn't commensurate with what you're claiming. This isn't so much evidence of God as it is mere wishful thinking.
