I'd like to take this moment to talk to you about something very real. It's called the null hypothesis. More or less, it's the default position of the scientific method (you may not like it, but it's the reason you've got a computer to sit in front of.) As wikipedia states:
Quote:It is important to understand that the null hypothesis can never be proven. A set of data can only reject a null hypothesis or fail to reject it.
That stated, if your hypothesis is "God exists, all things in the universe are a result of him" then the null hypothesis by default is "God does not exist, all things in the universe are a result of chance."
In this argument, the atheists are on the side of the null hypothesis. Remembering that the null can not be proven, only rejected or accepted, it is up to you to provide the proof that the null is false.
That is why not only can we not give you a good case against the existence of God that can stand up to scrutiny, it is not our job.
I hope that is good enough for you.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!?
