Buz Loses the Election

What proof do you have, as an archeologist who researches observable evidence, that something expanding existed having no space in which to exist, no time in which to have happened and no outside of into which to expand when, in fact, upon such a premise you base your thesis/argument and upon which thesis premise you interpret everything you observe, or is such a belief not subject to disproof by scientific evidence?
It is exasperating, but I will repeat it yet again. Science is not about proof it is about evidence, the concept of proof is limited to mathematics and judicial proceedings.
That having been stated, what proof do you have that your religion, out of several large and thousands of smaller ones is the truth, that your selected part of the major division of Christianity among Catholics, Orthodox, or Protestant, is the truth, that your selection of one protestant sect over all others due to Saturday sabbath instead of Sunday sabbath is the truth, or even that what cult portion of this sect that accepts you or your real master as an infallible authority is the truth?
It appears to me that you remain quite unconvincing among this audience. Perhaps it has to do with your narrowness in interpreting reality. To become one of the elected, you have to hold more than just you and yours as worthy of being saved.
Otherwise it just becomes someone to dense to understand a rather simple Twilight Zone episode.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
