IMAGINE WE'RE STANDING AT THE EDGE OF A FIELD. THERE'S A BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. I TELL YOU I KICKED IT THERE. YOU DIDN'T SEE ME KICK IT. YOU COULD REASONABLY BELIEVE THIS AS IT'S NOT AN EXTROADINARY TO CLAIM. NOW IMAGINE THERE ARE A DOZEN OTHER PEOPLE CLAIMING THEY KICKED THE BALL THERE. YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM KICK THE BALL EITHER, NOR CAN ANY OF US PRODUCE ANY DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT WE DID. YOU'RE LESS SURE OF MY CLAIM NOW, RIGHT? NOW IMAGINE I TELL YOU MY GOD MADE THE BALL AND KICKED IT THERE. NEITHER OF US SAW IT, AND THE DOZEN OTHER PEOPLE CLAIM THEIR GOD MADE THE BALL AND PUT IT THERE. NONE OF US SAW ANY OF THESE GODS DO WHAT HAS BEEN CLAIMED. NONE OF US HAS ANY DIRECT EVIDENCE FOR OUR CLAIM. THIS IS WHY UNBELIEVERS DOUBT YOU. NOT ONLY DO YOU LACK A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BALL AND THE ONE WHO KICKED IT, BUT YOU ARE UNABLE TO PRODUCE THE KICKER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
