In the meantime, some people are too arrogant in their self-sufficiency.



I like how you attempt to use your total lack of evidence as a justification for the truth of your claim. However in the end, Hitchen's Law still applies. That which can be asserted without evidence, can be rejected without evidence.



So where is your evidence, or do you simply offer a bag of no hope or as Bristoe said, "you're gonna make nice dirt"? Where the heck did all this organized material and energy stuff come from? Hitchens law is, in fact, an ad ignorantiam. Indeed it is entirely possible for assertions without evidence to be later proven true, and cannot be soundly rejected without evidence. You beat this to death, but all it amounts to is sniping from the weeds without offering any real substance.


You could assert that Ronald Regan killed JFK. If you are unable to offer any evidence, such as method means and motive, I would be totally justified in not believing your claim. There is not need or me to prove Joe McCarthy actually poisoned JFK for me to reject your totally unsupported claim JFK was strangled by Ronald Reagan.


As for what evidence is there supporting the current scientific consensus? Just the total body of current scientific knowledge for Astrophysics, Quantum Mechanics, Palentology, Geology, Biology, Genetics, Cosmology, Astronomy, and Physics.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
