Mythologies, fictions born of creative minds, heck even Santa Clause and assorted other fairy tales, all teach us that is is most logical to assume something does not exist until veritable evidence of its existence can be provided.

It is not reasonable, after all, to run around spreading apologetic nonsense regarding something that has zero evidence to support its existence.

Evidence and reasons to believe in God:

1. Person of Jesus is compelling.
2. The NT describes actual events including the miracles, life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
3. God works in people's lives today--changing people on the inside as well as the occurrence of miracles.
4. The natural theology arguments:
a. God is the best explanation why anything at all exists.
b. God is the best explanation of the origin of the universe.
c. God is the best explanation of the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life.
d. God is the best explanation of intentional states of consciousness.
e. God is the best explanation of objective moral values and duties.

'Lo and behold, I'm still an atheist.

Get back to us when you have actual, verifiable evidence of god's existence.
