Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

@SW-User So an apple not sitting on the table isn't proof that there's no apple there?

@SW-User True in abstract.
But solely that, without considering physical contraints, drives to inferences like: "There are no wires in Yucatán ruins. Therefore, Mayas used cell phones."

@SW-User You are right! However... What is the consequence of your sentence? If you are going to use that idea to hold stuff for real just because we haven't found evidence for it? Then you liberate the human imagination to intrude in the physical world even more then it does now. While what we should be doing (according to me), is reduce the imagination intruding into the physical world? Or are we not in agreement with that?

@DunDunDun It's more how a question how the apple got there, and how one choose to consume it? (obvious biblical references I don't align to as agnostic)

If you actually read the Bible you will note that it is not an apple but a fruit@SW-User

@GodSpeed63 There's no evidence of it. If you think there is, let's see it. Until then, you're just whistling in the wind. Put up or shut up.

@GodSpeed63 A naturally formed environment. Some would say it's the creation of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. I'm not so sure but I bet you can't prove it isn't.

How did that naturally formed environment come into existence?

I'm not sure although expansion from a singularity seem the most likely. It could be the creation of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, nobody has managed to prove it isn't.

I don't know about @talisker, but I don't have of myths, and I'm guessing he doesn't either.
Yet your proof is in an old book of myths

You are referring to a bible?
It’s myth, all appropriated .
Down to the image of the Madonna and child.
I refuse to engage unless you check your “faith “ at the door.
I’ve been there, done that bought the shirt with xtianity . I’ve studied with Jesuits and and with Baptist’s with phDs. I’ve seen Pentecostal/ charismatic church hoe downs on a Sunday night and liturgical services as well , orthodox, episcopal, Methodist, church of god, church of Christ, et al.....
You know what they have in common? They all are going through an exercise in faith.
They don’t know...they want to say I am correct. Yet , they can’t.
You can’t.
The worship of gods is a man made exercise for crowd control purposes.
Don’t talk about the Bible. Tell me what you know, beyond that book.
Otherwise we are done.

I can assure you the one thing you have never done is really study the Bible and particularly the new Testament as you would know if you would really studied it is not all myth. You would also know that 'Madonna and child' is not found in the new Testament but rather is a myth created by the Roman Catholic Church. I think blank page is a good profile name for you.@Texasgurl
