Shifting the burden of proof! Yay! God is self-evident, to say an omni-present, omniscient, omnipotent deity with no empirical evidence does NOT exist is just plain illogical.
Checkmate.

Sounds like someone I know. Starts with a "f" and ends with something that rhymes with "shmodo"

Off the top of my head, nothing final here... let's take Genesis 1:27 :
"So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them."
So man, both male and female, was the image of God. Geddit?
Didn't you say that the bible wasn't to be taken literally?

Explain God's physical nature please.
Thanks.

A book written by people who wanted control of a very superstitious and scientifically illiterate people. What did YOU think the bible was?

Everything around you is hard evidence should you believe in a creator.That's hardly a well-thought out rational statement from you. I'm starting to think you don't know what logic means, which would explain a lot. You're going to have to do a lot better than clouds, trees and flowers as supposed evidence for a cosmic creator.
It's a rationally sound statement. If your stance is one of knowledge then once again, please avail us of this unique insight.
It is not a rationally sound statement, it is an argument from ignorance.
The argument from personal incredulity, also known as argument from personal belief or argument from personal conviction, refers to an assertion that because one personally finds a premise unlikely or unbelievable, the premise can be assumed to be false, or alternatively that another preferred but unproven premise is true instead.
