No, there aren't. Suppose for a moment that there were a god..and it didn't feel like leaving you little clues - it's not like it owes you anything. Maybe it wanted you to have faith, or some such shit. It would only be your own pigheaded and misplaced sense of pride that kept you arguing for nonsense. That's all it is, now, too.
My sentiments to a T. Rather than argue for the superiority of your epistemic position, the essence of faith would be to admit its frailty and persist nonetheless. If you have so little faith anyhow, why is it important to convince us? Convince yourself.
I think that you have a different understanding of faith than I do. And I don't consider my faith weak, but strong because of the evidence.
