Would you bet your life on that statement?

Seems you have some learning to do.

And you would bet your life on the belief that a bearded old man in the sky deceptively gave two humans a way to betray God by eating a piece of fruit? Not only this but you don't at all question the idea of creation by a God who had somehow made the concept of days before he created the earth? And what about the sun and moon and everything else we have discovered?

Honestly, I would. Your bible interpretation is pretty shallow if that's all you get from the creation account.

FSM has his own creation account. It's way better.

This isn't me preaching, but for the purposes of the video, assume it is me (or not):

Why would I have to? I will stand by it as accurate.

Oh, how clever.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

You have no proof for your statement. That means that your opinion is no more supportable than mine.

Thanks.

Sounds compelling. It's so much more logical than the christian faith. I also like the idea of the 300-year old earth, and I love spaghetti too. You're tempting me to change churches, but I don't want to be a "church hopper", so I think I'll just stay a christian for now, but I will continue pray about it. Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't deeply searched the spaghetti monster faith yet. It seems reasonable on the surface, but there might be deeper flaw yet to be uncovered.
