I don't bother asking for evidence anymore though since science is where the evidence is at and supernaturalism is outside of science. Gods by definition cannot be tested, and if they can then they're not supernatural and hence not gods.
I've said it before: Naturalism pretty much has supernaturalism in a strangehold.
If god were to manifest himself in a way that scientists would find credible, the Christians of this world would deny him and say that it's not god but Satan masquerading as god to deceive us.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
