Charity, you have no comparative advantage for witty reparte. In this case, given the absurdity of your argument, you appear even more silly, as if that were possible.
Here's the thing, also. You've set up a system by which you've insultated yourself from ALL counterevidence.
To begin with, you demand that critics prove a negative.
Next, you assert that it is impossible to prove a negative.
Next, when critics DO present credible evidence on specific testable hypotheses (including evidence supported by the entire weight of scientific scholarship and consensus), you dismiss it.
Next, you assert that evidence will eventually be forthcoming, even if it takes a long, long, long time.
Finally, when really pressed, you play the "the spirit told" me card.
You've, in essense, constructed a system of belief that is totally invulnerable to any criticism.
There is literally nothing that can penetrate it.
Charity, you ARE delusional.
