Once you demonstrate that there is a god....yes. You are a long way from reaching that goal.
From demonstrating it to you, that is true. But I don't have to demonstrate it to you. Maybe I can't demonstrate it to you because you aren't capable of receiving it. Perhaps the low evidential status of Christianity in your mind is not from a failure of Christianity, it is a failure of you to appreciate the arguments, seek God on God's own terms and combine seeking God with sanctification and purifying yourself.

Define faith. I bet you will turn to m-w.com, the source that theologians use to define terms like that (hahah).
