How a semantic flourish created by humans in the historical record managed to be either giant or the creator of anything is a question you might want to ask yourself if you really believe that there can be no basis for that claimed knowledge.(July 9, 2019 at 2:22 pm)wyzas Wrote: But that's just it, Russell's teapot is not your idea, not your original claim, the proof is on the other.

But you be you. I'm certainly not going to give even passing/neutral credence (the maybe) to a fantasy proposition.
No one can offer satisfactory proof that giant invisible creator leprechauns don't exist. People who say, "I have no reason whatsoever to believe that giant creator leprechauns exist" are highly reasonable. But people who say, "I know that giant creator leprechauns don't exist" (while also very reasonable) have no basis for the knowledge they claim.
