What evidence could convince you that the creator of the world is a gigantic divine hamster who lives inside the planet and the Earth is nothing but a gigantic hamster wheel?

When someone makes an utterly ridiculous claim, people want pretty strong evidence for it. When that side of the debate has always been proven wrong or outright dishonest in the past, even more evidence is wanted.

The fact that throughout human history that’s exactly what such experiences have been (or outright fraud) contributes to such an attitude.
