For me, at the very least, strong evidence for God would have to be cumulative. If this is all the fascinating stuff I end up seeing, then it could still be once again aliens playing tricks on us. Hell, probably human tricksters could do just that. Why, in this scenario, is someone playing visual tricks on us with the sky less likely than some actual supernatural being doing actual supernatural stuff with the stars?
Well put. There’s a difference between one magician pulling one rabbit out of one hat and millions of rabbits spontaneously materializing in millions of hats.
