I'd argue there are contradictions all over the Bible.

Here's a list:

Joseph Smith certainly looked at golden tablets to reveal the holy truth that black people have dark skin due to a curse upon them. /s

You're making an incorrect assumption that says the burden of proof is not yours. I'm not making absurd claims about things that defy all logic and physical limits.

You are.
The burden is on you.

Your invisible helper cannot carry this burden for you.

Science is about testable repeatable actions and concepts.
Science describes what can be observed.

What can be observed and tested in your claims?

Fact: when science holds an incorrect idea, based on observable evidence - the idea changes to match reality.
If there were observable evidence of your imaginary sky guy, scientists would update their idea or theory to match the observable evidence.

Saying that there might be elephants living on top of clouds doesn't make it true.
Entertaining the idea without proof is not science or even theory.

Even with perfect faith, elephants still live on terra firma.

Happened overnight too. /S

This isn't an accurate account of history.

If you've studied any of the Roman empire in antiquity you're actively acting in bad faith.

If not, why are you making things up? Why are you actively lying?

Constantine is reported as making it the state religion 300+ years after the alleged existence of yeshua.

If it's possible, reproduce the claims.
Until you can produce evidence of something, they are unfounded claims.

The Heaven's Gate cult wrote things down and had a whole group of folks that would confirm the beliefs they had.

According to you, the burden of proof is on society.

So I challenge you in the same way you're attempting here.

Prove the Heaven's Gate cult wrong.
They made very reasonable claims(according to them) and it's up to you to prove them wrong.

That's what you are doing.
Until you can prove someone is able to do the things in your text(s). It's a fable.
You're still arguing in bad faith.

No. There's a whole mythology that Smith alluded to.
That mythology and its alleged revelation were supposedly there before smith or anyone else.
Smith is a charlatan who started the myth.

Jesus' myth was started by alleged followers (being generous) at least 50+ years after his alleged existence.

All of the myths attributed to yeshua are torn from other sources and are a patchwork of stories that held attention at the time.

It's more likely yeshua was a myth told by charlatans who needed money to keep spreading the wonderful story of a Jew who could have ruled the Roman empire but fed the poor and healed others instead.

Things that exist, can be scientifically proven.
We have evidence for the presence of dark matter. This is a placeholder for something we don't know what it is yet.

We don't have evidence of gods in any way that can be tested.

Season five was written without propery continuity.

The show had amazing actors, beautiful graphics, and bad story writing.

All the damage from season four is ignored, except Book's romance.

There were entire sectors of space that are voids because of the last season.

If they were to use the power, they could rebuild kweijan and all of the damage to planets and creatures in season four.

I tried to stay away from points that would be spoilers.

The technology had control over gravity and demonstrations of the environments it created on display.

You're going to argue a device drawing energy directly from black holes is limited in its scope of creation?

The progenitor said it could create life, not replacements of what was.
It also said the scale and speed were up to the one managing the process.

They could have easily replaced any of the species that were wiped out. Not trying to argue for exact copies of books family, only the life forms and planets.

Only 20 light years? Say that to the life forms that stopped existing.

I did some more digging, in the show the DMA was referenced as appearing more than 1000 light years away from where it had appeared. Discovery season 4 episode 5.
