In your opinion what causes christians to believe in Jesus

[Sheldon]

My statement has predictive power, and I'll gladly put money on it. You ask any number of participants if they agree with the positive set of adjectives or negative set of adjectives describing the God of the Bible, and whether they self-identify as atheist or theist, and you will get a significant correlation.

And as a bonus, do the same with Sheldon's claims, like whether they have an "ability to deny objective reality, no matter how well evidenced, if it contradicts their beliefs."

My single variable vs all of his. $1,000 per person. Who wants to join?

Well we could start by asking you how old you believe the earth is, and whether you claim humans evolved, just like all other living things over billions of years, Since it is an objective fact that the earth is 4.543 billion years old, and that all living things evolved slowly over billions of years. Humans are one recent species of evolved great ape, these are objective facts, if you agree then fine, I will remove you from that group, but many Christians deny exactly these facts about objective reality. Over 45% of adults in the US deny the objective fact of species evolution, and natural selection. 

Let me know how you intend to pay me that $1000 dollars.
