Yet, in all this arguing back and forth, not once does God utter a word. He just stands there in the corner watching us having an argument about him, with nothing to say to support his buddies and prove us wrong. No voice, no physical manifestations, no declaration of divine presence.
Except Jesus did exactly all that you are asking for and then some. So your real complaint is that he does not come to each generation and do it again. I guess he thought that sending the Holy Spirit to prompt people into seeking out God and when they do, provide personal access to the God of the universe was a better solution for all time. The fact is that people like yourself are convinced that God does not exists (not simply agnostic--which is all you have justification for) and that belief get's in the way, well, that's on you now isn't it.
Well, I guess this is the best you can do as a logical Christian. But let's be honest, you know this was a bullshit response to my OP.

In my case, I wouldn't say "chance". Rather, "necessity".
I also wouldn't say "result of time".
