While I certainly appreciate the value of the video and can even learn from it, most believers will just listen and then say, "If you already had the evidence, there's no need to believe. This is what we call faith." In short, "faith" is believing without evidence. Apparently, this is what gods and humans value - to believe in them without having to provide any evidence. So gods and humans are very much alike in that regard. I certainly appreciate it when people have "faith" in me regardless of having to prove that I am worthy of it. Well, we all know what this means, don't we? God created man in His image!
