This leaves you in a very sticky situation. You've "gotcha'd" yourself and still haven't managed to point out a straw man. Surely this isn't your intention?
Again wrong. Since you have no intention to properly read the op I'll give you a summary
*Only scientific works need to submit scientific evidence
*Bible is a religious work not a scientific work(it's called the Christian faith not the Christian science isn't it and nowhere inside Bible it claims it is a scientific work)
*When you ask for evidence of a God you are strawmanning that Bible is a scientific work(which you haven't proven)
*So if you want evidence of a God then you have to first prove that Bible is scientific

A promise of evidence tomorrow demonstrates nothing today, and is incapable of mounting a serious objection to what evidence we do have today. What -can- be said, if you're hoping for evidence tomorrow, is that you do not have any today.
You're pleading the possibility of some meaningful ignorance with your interlocuter, and while potentially true..it's entirely uninformative. It will always be the case that there may be something that we don't know. Even if we had "complete knowledge" about some subject x, the one thing missing would be knowledge of complete knowledge. This is why a requirement of complete knowledge is unreasonable.

Quote:No previous ancestors of these arthropods have been found. Similar to some marine “bugs” we see today on the seashore that disappear into the sand when the waves retreat, trilobites had hard shells, all the basic organs, and complex eyes like those of flies, with hundreds of sophisticated lenses connected to the optic nerve going to the brain. Trilobite fossils are found around the earth, and in all cases the level of rock beneath them does not reveal other creatures with similar features.
Will you apply the same standard here as well?

Asking for evidence could never be, in any context.
Maybe we should all chip in and get him a free online dictionary?
