What is it that you're expecting from the theist? An experiment with a beaker and a few chemicals that prove God exists? No, such evidence will *never* be available because we're talking about a concept that is "outside" of our universe. How can materialistic things prove to you that there is a consciousness that feels love, anger, jealousy etc. which wants to connect with you personally? They can't.
I disagree with the first statement. The debate will only progress when the theist realises that there is no evidence. Everything else that you said is exactly my point. There is no material evidence, and we live in a material world.

My eyes are open. I am looking around, and here is a list of what I see:
A wall, floor, TV, bed, chair, two doors, a computer, a ps3, cables attatched to the tv, two desks, and a trash can. About it. No evidence for your god.
¨I contend that we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you. When you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.¨
