It isn't particularly clever to apply the same requirements for evidence that you'd apply to the other aspects of your life, such as checking your Sainsbury's receipt, or going down the builders' yard to check that the builder isn't overcharging you, or having a good look at a used car before you buy it, or looking up other sources to make sure that Keith/akenaton/the Daily Mail aren't lying to you (vital). None of that is clever, just sensible. It's odd that you could accept without checking for evidence that there's a supernatural being who's all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful, who never had a beginning and who created everything, all contrary to the laws of nature that he presumably instituted, yet who's never been seen and who can't be explained, and all this just because somebody told you it was true without offering you a scrap of evidence. I don't call questioning that clever. I call questioning that normal and rational. Very ordinary really.
