1. It isn't valid
2. JP here, and Arcanus elsewhere have explained this so very clearly no one has an excuse not to get it. THERE IS NO NEED for any 'extra evidence/ proof'. It's already there and finished.
3. I'm talking about (you and you're zombie attraction to) evidence.
Evidence is the only thing that allows us to differentiate between two equally unproven assumptions.
You may not like the fact that we insist upon using the scientific method but we do insist upon it, it is the only reliable, consistent, open, repeatable, falsifiable method that we as a species have ever devised that allows us to differentiate between fact and fiction.
Your hypothetical loaded-arguments built upon asserted assumptions gives absolutely no proof of concept, explanatory power or evidence to differentiate them from any other myth within the same criteria, they are completely useless assumptions that offer absolutely no benefit to our species and draw their origins from ancient books written by primitive people claiming insight. The origin of these myths themselves is almost enough evidence for a rational person to dismiss the claims they make, the fact that they have offer no explanatory power, made so many incorrect predictions about origins, disease, sin, race, nature and the like only further solidify the position that this is in no way the word of God.
By the way, i find the fact that you are still using an argument designed in the late 1700's to be a fairly compelling description of the failures of Apologists to create a solid argument backed up by evidence.
