I'm always open-minded to genuine evidence, but the task of overthrowing so many self-consistent, mutually consistent, and well-supported sciences seems very difficult.

I finally saw The Matrix this past weekend (rented it from NetFlix). Great movie. It really lived up to the hype.

Yes, now that you mention The Matrix ... If the Creator were to appear and turn of the machine that's been generating all these illusions we experience -- all the self-consistent illusions that give us the impression of "facts" which support science -- and we were then suddenly all exposed to the real reality, the one where everything is verifiably consistent with the Genesis account, then yes, of course I'd be convinced. But it would require that kind of evidence to convince me that we're all living in an artifically-generated illusory world. It's possible. I await the demonstration.
