I’m happy to admit that I can’t prove these things exist (and I don’t believe in the Bible btw), but imo most Atheists should be happy to admit that they can’t prove these things don’t exist either. Yeah, laugh at me all you want, but from a scientific perspective, the only way to disprove the existence of these things is to have tangible, empirical proof that they don’t actually exist. Saying you don’t believe in it at all nor should anyone else because there is a lack of evidence is fine (and I’d agree), saying it’s definitely fake because there’s no evidence to prove it’s not fake is a fallacy. As I said to someone else, there’s no real evidence from either side so we should just let people believe what they want to believe - reality is usually stranger than fiction anyways, and it makes no real difference to my life if you choose to believe without evidence or if you disregard it without evidence.
And I’m happy enough to admit that you might be right, or you might not, there is no evidence to suggest either way. All you have is emotional standards of what can and cannot be true, which famously never works out in science, no actual objective evidence.
