Sorry, but your story is a poor analogy. Theology expects me to believe in a guy throwing a banquet with no indepedently verifiable evidence.

I'm not buying it.

Theology expects nothing. G-d has His own expectations. And, no matter what you say, I don't think it's going to cut it if you challenge Him and say, 'There was no evidence.'

What you mean to say is that you have defined precisely what evidence is admissable and will insist that G-d provide the evidence you asked for and you will reject anything else. Just like the people who insisted that the man let them in the door they asked for and rejected anything else.

And this is what I don't understand.

Shalom.

....."independently verifiable evidence"...

Now, don't get rude, but what does that mean?

Are you a Christian? Do you believe that God creates everything? Then what is "independently verifiable evidence"?

Independent of what?
