I am just sophisticated enough to realize that evidence by itself is worthless; it requires a conceptual scheme in order to be interpreted. I also know that the naturalist has begun with a conceptual scheme that rules out all evidence for God’s existence a priori; so it’s absurd for an atheist to be asking for evidence that proves God exists because he’s or she’s already ruled the possibility of it out. Rather than tossing loads of evidence onto the table that both sides interpret completely differently, it’s better to point to whose conceptual scheme is even logically defensible, consistent, and coherent- and the anti-Christian one is certainly not.
Well, since it's overwhelming, I'm sure we'll be regaled by tales of it again at some point or another - which is always something I enjoy. I had run out of people to ask for evidence from for awhile there. It's true that I've ruled out the existence of your god, and any other god anyone has ever deigned to wax on about - but I'm always ready to be wrong. Please, feel free to toss loads of evidence on the table - or any evidence at all.
