The religious have already demonstrated that they'll embrace history and archaeological findings only when they match their personal beliefs.
True, cosmogeny isn't currently understood, but inventing a magical designer doesn't explain anything; it doesn't explain how. The question just regresses to "who designed the designer?" Mythologizing when your baffled by something is not reasonable.
The bible's concept of "prove" isn't what's understood in mathematics. The biblical concept seems more like "convince."
What archaeology of the biblical land and time is being ignored?
In science we say that the concept of something "outside the universe"
is nonsensical. The universe is simply everything. So wondering how a
designer, outside of the universe, came to be is itself a nonsensical
question as we can't comprehend such a designer to even ask the
question of how this designer came to be.
No, the bible is about relationship with God - it deals with the individual
alone, and this individual must prove for him or herself the reality of God.
