For thousands of years of human history it had been apparent there is a God. It is up to atheists to prove that billions of people's presuppositions have been wrong. That means providing evidence for how life originated. Occam's Razor says if the earth looks designed it probably is, so it is up to naysayers to prove otherwise. You personally may need more evidence, but general logic says atheists bear some burden of proof in a debate setting. Not seeing God does not mean He does not exist--it just means the assumed naturalistic point of view has not been validated. You assume natural things are all that exist and ask for natural proof of God. Christians feel that they could not contemplate spiritual things unless spiritual things did in fact exist. Since God is by nature spiritual, all we need (and expect) is spiritual evidence. Christians call that Faith, which is sort of like a feeling--but not just a feeling. It is possible to decipher between Faith and feeling. Atheists believe the unreliability of feelings makes them all worthless--and hope to hell they are. Christians believe feelings are God's creation and his way of communicating with us--and are glad to heaven they discovered such. There is one truth in this world, and sometimes its worth suspending worldly reason to get it.
Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
