Yes, there are facts that are evident. People tell god stories is one evident fact. Some people believe in those god stories is another. If his conclusion were that fairy tales exist and people believe them, then his points would have merit and support such a conclusion. The story exists, some people believed it - but since no one disputes this, no one needs to present any argument or counterexample to "defeat" it. It's fundamentally impossible to point at either a claim or the people who believe in a claim as an indicator of it;s accuracy. That;s not how that works, he may not know that, how about you? He's not even waiting, because this subject has been done to death for years on this site, -with him in the convo- ...so let's at least -try- be less disingenuous, hmn?
I, personally, assume you could do better. Do you also think that "well, I've got this book...see..." is a competent argument for -any- god? Lay aside competent arguments, can you imagine that "well, I've got this book....see...." is evidence for -any- god?
