I agree. What organization it was made by doesn't necessarily lend more credence to the claims indeed.

I think so too.

What are some of those qualifications exactly?

Lacking more specifics, it becomes a non-starter. If you start adding the specifics of this or that god, it quickly becomes apparent that there are not good, rational reasons for adding this specific rather than that specific, this god rather than that god, and the whole explanation collapses in on itself for lack of evidence for the particulars.
One must laugh at the irony of that post, given that you yourself claim to believe in various particular gods. (Or are you not a theist?)
Damn, you're so consistent ...
