No. Not at all. But I have heard serious reports that God created the heavens and the earth. Lo and behold, the heavens and the earth are present for my observation. Not a bad start. In view of the fact that I myself, as an intelligent agent, am totally incapable of building a tree that works, much less a silicon chip, it is not at all unreasable to assume an intelligent agent may be involved with this stuff. That is more than I can say for lizard people or whatever red herring you chose to throw into the mix, of whom there have only been patently ficitious accounts.

There is exactly the same amount of courtroom quality evidence for the theory that God created the heavens and earth, as for the Norse theory of God's vs. Giants now buried deep in the earth. And about the same measure of respectable second-hand witnesses. Furthermore, plenty of Greeks would have been ready to step up to the microphone and swear their certain knowledge derived from no courtroom-quality evidence whatsoever, just like you. Why should I take you any more seriously than I take them?

That's my cue:

Apparently you have difficulty judging evidence on its own merits. I hope you are not a professional scientist or teacher. You fail to take into account that my obervations extend only to the point where the evidence confirms the biblical account that the heavens and the earth were created. You also fail to recognize that my faith is not based upon whimsical reports spun out of a fertile imagination, but the well-respected testimony of others. You are recalcitrant in maintaining that my belief must be absolutely provable to be considered either scientific or supported by evidence. Lastly, your compass must be out of whack where the mental processing of propositional data is concerned.

Obviously you are not alone in your judgements, but you err.
