    Every single one of the things you mentioned are claims, not evidence. Maybe I can rephrase my question:

    When I buy a delicious Share Size Snickers bar at the 7-11, I see on the package that it claims that the bar weighs 3.86 ounces. It feels a little light to me; I am skeptical of the fact that this particular Share Size Snickers bar weighs what it claims on the package. My options are:

    1. Take the weight printed on the package as the truth and don’t question it any further;
    2. Put the bar on a scale and measure its weight independently, to confirm whether the weight is correct.

    With regard to religion, you appear to be doing only #1, and I’m asking how I can do #2. What are the tools and evidence I can use, akin to the scale, that are independent of the religious text (= the Snickers wrapper) and can show me that your claims are valid?
