So once again you admit that you do not understand what I am saying.

Have I ever been shy about letting you know that you were off topic and irrelevant?

We are talking about your lack of understanding of the topic. Keep up or get left behind. I do not have time for antics.

No, you were talking about that -- the rest of us would very much like to get back to the topic which you have recently abandoned.

Are you saying that the Israelites get up in the morning, go to synagogue, and hear that the Philistines came and taunted them, etc., and not one person denied it; saying, for instance, "I was there then, and I don't remember that"?

If that's not what you're saying, perhaps you could give me a viable scenario?

Not many people in ancient civilizations were willing to confront their own holy men or leaders and tell them, "you're wrong," or worse, "you're lying."

Perhaps you're aware of the Liberty Valance Effect?

Perhaps you're aware they died for what they wrote?

Perhaps you're aware they wrote what they heard in the temples and synagogues?

Right.

After hearing about how Isaiah and Jeremiah were treated, they just couldn't wait their turns ... could they?

Perhaps they shared your martyr fetish...

God creates an iPad ex nihilo and gives it to you.

Everyone you tell laughs at you.

Convince them otherwise, or explain why you can't.

Because God stopped creating ex nihilo after the creation week and there is no mention of an iPad in the documentation.

Besides, as I pointed out earlier, if anyone but Apple, Inc. created it, it's not an iPad -- it's a knockoff.

Serial number would either be a duplicate, or a number apple hadnt produced yet.
..
That would be weird if I could document it, but probably not enough to convince people. They'd likely think it was just an error.

There serial number won't match the serial number of any iPad on record as being made in the iPad factory.

Isn't it nice when we can check reality and find support for our claims?

Oh wait - reality can take a hike, can't it?

Dang, playing by your rules, it's impossible to find any supporting evidence at all, although playing by my rules, we can easily find supporting evidence.

Maybe my rules are better than yours.

So?

What does a serial number have to do with anything?

Didn't I say everyone laughs at you?

So what if the serial number on it is 00000001 or 99999999 or anything in between?

Or even missing.

If they deny it, they're wrong.

It's that simple.

Your job in this challenge is to keep them from being wrong; or explain why you can't.

Okay, since apparently you need me to spell it out for you.

"Hey, everyone! I have an iPad. Look at this. This is the serial number of my iPad. But when we look at the records of all the iPads ever made, then we see that no iPad ever came out of the factory with this serial number. How could that be? The only explanation is that this iPad was NOT made in the iPad factory. Which fits in with my claim that it was made by God!"
