Perhaps if you could get this God fellow to show up at my house so I could talk to him for an hour or so, and maybe perform a few miracles so that I'd know he really was a god, then that would probably convince me. He used to appear to people in biblical times, so why not now? Having a picture of his son show up on a piece of toast is not evidence.
If reasonable doubt is so easy to understand, why don't you tell me more about it?
Is it the best criteria? Is it the same as "beyond the shadow of a doubt"? Should everyone have the same criteria? Can it be subjective?
