Bad argument really. You could say that to Lemaitre about the Big Bang as well: "there have been 3000 creation myths so far but only yours actually happened. The others are all nonsense, but not yours. Yours is real". Well, yes, actually!

If you want to talk about a topic, you've got to engage the topic itself on its own merits.

I don't understand why famous atheists go for these sorts of "clever" arguments. I guess they like to feel clever. The simpler argument is much better: "I don't believe because I have no reason to". Simple. But it doesn't stroke the ego as much.

The difference is that when new evidence is introduced and vetted, the narrative changes. Religion does not allow for that, nor does faith.
