Evidence: Information supporting a claim.

Correct. And “it was written down” does not itself support a claim. Cat in the Hat is in a book too.

The information supports the claim, but what claim are we talking about?

I beg your pardon?

Actually it is


"Evidence" doesn't have to be true or even believable.

The Bible isn't a claim. Those who believe it is true make this claim.

It isn't evidence of God

It could be evidence in the other direction too.

Do you mean Jesus is God?

There is no God but Allah and Mohamed is his prophet.

This way we are not deceived by an imposter or deluded by God.

Satan is an imaginary being.

Correct, imaginary.

But in dark matter the imagination is real.
