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.

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.

As is exactly the same case for the Norse account of creation.

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.

...I have equivalent testimony from well-respected historical figures in greece, rome, and Stockholm, I have written holy works describing these alternative creation theories, and I have subsequent historical evidence bearing witness to the authenticity of the documents.

Lastly, your compass must be out of whack where the mental processing of propositional data is concerned.

What in thunder is "propositional data"?

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

Obviously, you need a lesson in the nature of forensic evidence, and probably a refresher in tools of reasoning, if you think "propositional data" means anything substantive.

Fester seems to have appointed huimself arbiter of who should be a professional scientist or teacher, although, earlier in the thread, he made a big show of not knowing even the most basic science. Sort of like having a blind man select your wardrobe.
