I too am largely ignorant of the bible so I have no scriptures to offer. I would point out to your father that there is indeed plenty of evidence of God for those seeking to confirm the belief they already hold. However for those of us who acquire the habit of challenging our assumptions and biases, there is no evidence in either direction. The only choices are belief through unreasoned faith or lack of belief for lack of evidence. Personally I put my faith in whatever truth I can find. To guard against delusion, I am slow to declare truth and slower to generalize. I'm trying to keep myself pure for the actual truth and open to as much of it as I can hold wherever that may lead. God didn't make the cut.
