Such arguments generally devolve into unproductive bickering about the assignment of the burden of proof.

Russel's teapot seems quite settled, and most religions go the same way for similar reasons. This argument is quite strong. Anyway, this is what I referred to; I don't want to discuss evidence about religion.

I do wish to discuss evidence about religion - at least, I do today. I hope nick will oblige.
