Do Christians actually want evidence?

You don't doubt any evidence by physicists about matter and energy! Even though you, yourself are unable to recreate any of their experiments!
Or, even the fact that many other physicists may be unable to acttually recreate supporting evidence....or even explain it!

So... whats the difference?

There's nothing stopping me from re-creating a physics experiment other than my lack of desire to be a physicist. Physics is consistent, even if our understanding isn't. Physics doesn't operate in a special manner for certain people. I don't have to have faith in it, because it works. There are enough tangible results of physics all around me, from advanced electronics to cars to appliances, which would not operate if physicists were wrong about how certain functions of physics work.

Quote:A true believer, doesn't need any evidence... at least in a physical manner. But talking "spiritual" to an atheist, is like writing physics formulas on a kindergarten blackboard.

A true believer, by definition, cannot need evidence. Anybody who had a serious need for legitimate evidence would not hold religious beliefs. People like Christians, who define reality completely in the context of a crazy delusion, are people who trust only the evidence they invent for themselves, with that misplaced, wholly-unwarranted trust forming the foundation of their defenses against the real world and all the ways in which it contradicts their fantasy.

Talking "spiritual" to an atheist is like trying to convince a mathematician that there are perfectly spherical squares, if you only you open your heart and just believe it.
