No. As has been pointed out to you many, many times I'm sure, it's an extraordinary claim because of the scope of the claim. That there is an invisible, all powerful, all knowing, all seeing deity who created everything yet can only speak through a select few humans is THE extraordinary claim to end all extraordinary claims. And yet the standard of evidence for it is not extraordinary.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
