I'll see your two words and raise you dismissing God entirely out of hand with one word:
"So?"

Really the two sides have to come to a consensus about what evidence is, because some theists will say the evidence is everywhere. They grasp at straws, more than anything. One thing to go over is finding a piece of evidence that doesn't fit every other god out there. trees are as much proof for Gaia as they are of Yahweh.

Well, if he wants to come interact with me he is quite welcome to. We can have a relationship. I'm just not interested in worship or cults.
I won't be reading that. I'm pretty sure I already listened to Steve Shives dissect it. The truth of Christinaity is of no consequence to me.

If the Living God wants a relationship, I'll be waiting. But if I have to take leaps of faith and lie to myself about what makes sense to me, I doubt I'd want a relationship with him/her/it anyway.
