If you weren't trolling, you might notice the irony of accusing me of deflecting, while doing so yourself. Asking about my beliefs is a classic way of deflecting attention from the fact that the "evidence" you presented is nothing but speculation and argument from ignorance. You can't fix the gaping holes in your reasoning so instead you try to start a new debate about what you think I believe.

If you weren't trolling, you wouldn't pretend to be an agnostic. If you really were agnostic, you'd know that there are 3 options (not 2 as you pretend) when it comes to belief: 1) believing X is true, 2) believing X is false, 3) not having a belief about about the truth or falsehood of X.

But why bother with rational thinking when you can just read between the lines.

If you weren't trolling, you wouldn't pretend that you have a deeper understanding of the scientific method and cosmology than a real astrophysicist.

I have no more questions for the witness. Happy trolling.
