Do Christians actually want evidence?

That would work if you had an infinite assortment of random universes I suppose but if you want to apply Occams Razor you can just say there is one universe and it was purposely made to generate life, intelligence, civilizations and that kind of thing. So that's an opinion I have but I supported it with some reasoning. I could have just said "No God done it" and expect that to be a hard hitting point which is the equivalent of most of your own points.

Actually, Occam's Razor in relation to the scientific method: "As a logical principle, Occam's razor would demand that scientists accept the simplest possible theoretical explanation for existing data. However, science has shown repeatedly that future data often supports more complex theories than existing data. Science prefers the simplest explanation that is consistent with the data available at a given time, but the simplest explanation may be ruled out as new data become available. That is, science is open to the possibility that future experiments might support more complex theories than demanded by current data and is more interested in designing experiments to discriminate between competing theories than favoring one theory over another based merely on philosophical principles." (emphasis mine)

So basically, using your misapplication of Occam's Razor, you should believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster of Pastafarianism because FSM's are a much simpler explanation than a "Triune God."
