No, but I will insist that every argument that I am aware of hasn't been logically sound.

Not everything that is a result of evolution benefits evolution directly. Many times traits come about that are by-products of other beneficial traits.
Anyways, can you prove that evolution cannot account for those things?

I appreciate the admittance that people can't be certain that god is there or not, but many of the theists that come here claim to know that their god exists.
Regardless, conviction of the human mind that something is real has no bearing on its actual existence. This is why many people put so much emphasis on verifiable evidence.

I can think of one right off the top of my head. God popping over and saying, "Hi."
