However, we've already granted that as many private realities as human beings exist, and seeing as how the question has nothing to do with private realities, it also has nothing to do with whether it would be nice if anyone argued for your own private reality.
Winter isn't making a claim on anyone's private reality- yours, mine or his- but that in mere reality there are cloud fairies that drive rain, and additionally, that the truth of this assertion amounts to a scientific miracle which establishes that every other claim made in the quran is true.
Do you believe that this purported fact of cloud fairies is established as a fact, and do you believe that if it were established as a fact, the additional proposition - that all other claims made in the quran are also, then, demonstrated to be true?
