Considering my eternal soul is on the line here, I would think God would make his existence a bit more apparent.

These statements remind me of the story of a man on the roof of his house during a flood praying that God will save him from the rising water. A boat comes along to take him away but he refuses the ride because he is praying to God and is sure God will save him. As the water rises, another boat and a helicopter come along to take the man to safety but with the same results. Finally the man drowns. When he gets to heaven, he asks God why he didn’t answer his prayer to be saved from the flood. God answers “I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
So maybe the issue is a matter of perspective. Maybe it is not the lack of evidence but the interpretation of that evidence. Maybe the existence of the universe, the fact that you have air to breathe, and all the good things that you have ARE evidence of the God who is everywhere, intervenes in our lives, and grants us gifts on a daily basis and you just refuse to see these things for what they are.
