Pointing out that an argument is fallacious isn't poisoning the well Frodo.
Why do you get to decide what evidence is inappropriate? This is special pleading.
Look, You are adding the provision to your argument that we cannot question it's premise. I don't know if you are doing this intentionally, or if you actually do not realize it. This is obviously very frustrating to me. I'm not arguing whether or not any given idea of god exists, I'm actually questioning whether or not god exists at all. I understand that you believe god to be beyond evidence. What I'm asking is whether or not this is true?
The major premise of your argument for the existence of god is that he exists as described. This is a very tight circle.
I also want to point out that simply conceding that human knowledge is fallible, and that we have reason to believe we are lacking in vast amounts of information is not an argument from ignorance unless I make a positive claim from that position. I do not. You are projecting your own position onto mine.
