Let me make it easy for you, there's no evidence.
Hmm, is there something else to make up for it?
Of course there's something to make up for it. Great stories. There's a guy with a hammer and when he throws it at the Storm giants, that's why there's lightning in the sky (and storms) and his chariot wheels turning on air is the thunder. Buckets of awesome.
I also grant the utter contradiction of mocking the Bible for its blind mythical assertions while having a great time with Pagan myths like Thor. But there are differences that cause that.
1. Nobody is trying to get "Scientific Odinism" taught in schools.
2. Nobody is saying you'll go to Nifleheim if you don't literally believe the Norse myths or other Pagan myths.
3. Modern pagans instantly admit there is no evidence (see Ciarin above) and don't spend hours, days, weeks, months and years contriving utterly baseless pseudo-scientific waffle in an attempt to prove there is evidence where there is none.
