Last look...this is the Christian section of the forum?
Indeed it is. haitherenicetomeetyou...I still don't see why you're upset that we're talking about Religion. Or...maybe you're just mad that we don't believe in it. Yes, that must be it.

No...?
Let me take two steps back and reiterate what I was saying because...well...this concept was clearly lost on you. Comparing God and Bigfoot is as easy as comparing Santa and the Tooth Fairy. Why? Because we're talking about two things that are made-up claims. People say they have evidence for the existence of God the same way other say they have evidence for the existence of Bigfoot. Both claims end up as empty as a horse trough at high noon. This comparison doesn't get any more basic.
Though I do want to hear why you brought mannequins into this. Please. Do tell all.

That's not at all how a test works, and you're being dishonest if you really are trying to troll that load of crap around here.
As is the case with many things in Science, we don't have to test every theory ourselves because the scientific community has already done so. Nothing is published in science without peer review and reproduced results. That's all there is to it.
Now, if you're saying that taking the scientific community at their word is a faith-based action, then you've likewise implied that the Scientists are dishonest with their work, or that there's some conspiracy at hand to spread misinformation in place of facts. I'm sorry, but I'd rather leave those kinds of proceedings to the theists, so please leave science out of all your conspiracy theories, if you will.
