You're basically arguing that nothing is fact therefore you can believe whatever you want and all beliefs are equal.
I don't believe that. I believe that evidence and methodology make some things much more likely than others.
You can also believe that Santa Claus brings you presents at Christmas time if you want to. No one can stop you. Go ahead. There's a reason why you don't, of course. It's true that if you want to believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or that there are dragons living in caves no one can prove you wrong.
You don't have to believe what I believe but if your argument come down to "I can believe whatever I want no matter how kooky" it pretty much kills the entire possibility of a real debate.
