Exactly. Once in an internet chat room someone came in purporting to be a young female TV/movie star. Needless to say I was pretty skeptical, as were most people in the chat room. Could it have been her? Possibly. Should I have believed it just because that person said so? I wasn't born yesterday. Could I prove it one way or another? No.
But according to Vinny's logic my skepticism was irrational because I couldn't prove that she wasn't who she said she was. According to Vinny, it's only logical to be totally naive and believe everything and skepticism is illogical.
So why doesn't Vinny believe in every other god out there that has ever been worshiped throughout history? He can't prove that they don't or never existed, so his disbelief is totally irrational according to his own flawed logic.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
