       You've led me to believe that countless times but if you do NOT believe   
   it's   
   possible there's no God associated with Earth then say that specifically for   
   everyone to see.

       Then present some way(s) in which you imagine there could be or it will   
   expose you as the liar by revealing that you can't.

       The fact that you can't get that "far" is just another fact you don't

       You have to have some degree of faith about some things related to other   
   people and how they will behave, and also about the environment "outside". If   
   you honestly can't think of any examples then say so specifically and I'll   
   point   
   some out for you.
