Shall I start again about minimal levels of assumptions, and how both
"Christians"/religious believers in general and non-believers start with
the same assumptions about reality, whlst believers tack on the other wishful

Why don't you explain what's "20th century" about your kaka?  Even if you
were right about my being a 19th century man, that actually puts me millenia
ahead of you...  (I doubt there'll be an answer to this.)
