My only argument is that Christopher has made a truth claim without offering fact and reasoning to support the claim. 

Which he has!

(To clarify in case there is misunderstanding here: I'm not actually making any argument about whether there is, isn't or may be a "god" - I personally consider that topic completely irrelevant.)
His claim had caveats, "probably as sure as we need to be", it was not an absolute.  

His claim for this was based on lack of evidence.  And he offers this lack of evidence and many other reasons in his book.  You just don't seem to like them.
