Same with Thor. If we assume Thor, then lightening is Thor playing with his hammer. But then the Thor myth falls apart once you know scientifically how lightening forms. It's a naive proposal. Not so with the Christian God.
Well actually a lot of things that the xian god has done, can be explained scientifically, and a lot of things he has done, are physically impossible. How the earth was formed for example, we know how our planet formed.

I agree, we can't just dismiss it, but we can reserve judgement until more evidence is presented.
