However, if I were to show this same "evidence" to you, you may very well not find it convincing in the least.
Then how do you know it even exists? How can you make yourself sophistry-proof (to the greatest degree possible) without basing your conclusions on
objective evidence; that is, evidence that has the power to convince
any open-minded person?
When Copernicus and Galileo showed "evidence" that the Earth rotated around the Sun, rather than the Sun rotating around Earth, he received great criticism and persecution, even though they had ample data to prove the viability of this theory.
Yet, nobody could refute
their evidence, and as a result,
persons who were intellectually committed to having an open mind about evidence were convinced.
Why is it that the so-called "evidence" of creationism only "convinces" those who are already convinced?

You

Sincerely for Truth and Free Expression of Ideas,
