the problem

I don’t think there is a singular problem, but my issue is being asked to believe something without evidence

    I agree. But sometimes it's an expert. And the expert's understanding is beyond you for some reason.

    I'm not saying that this is necessarily the case but it happens.

    Sorry, but if you can't explain it, then it's not evidence.

    If it's not something you can demonstrate and we can reproduce, then all we got to go in is that you insist, and that gets into the second part of the problem. Religion isn't just a collection of beliefs. Religion is also a prescription for "appropriate" behavior based on those beliefs.

    But then again, we've been over this, and you still haven't even attempted to disprove the Big Flying Dildo.
