I normally agree with you, Ralph, but not here.  What's true or not
doesn't depend on the evidence, it depends on whether it's true or
not.  Evidence can convince us that something is true, but it can
still be false.  And vice-versa.

Of Christian theology, 100% can't be proven.  The evidence is
immaterial (and I mean that in both senses of the word).

Hebrew 11:1
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of
things not seen."

I'm not a Christian, but this conception of faith is part of the
bedrock of Christian theology.  I'll be willing to discuss this
further when I get back from watching Prince Caspian.
