The lawyer in the Guinness World Records who won 400 cases in a row said the best evidential case he has ever seen was for the life, death, burial, resurrection and deity of Jesus. So in terms of evidence, God has provided the best proof we could ever reasonably ask for.
In fact, you nor I can even come up with better evidence for Jesus being God. That's powerful.
Well lets look at this impoverished third world lawyer's "skills" at examining evidence.
This comes from the first source I could find:

Quote:Let me explain, I feel the presence of the wind, but I do not see it, yet I know it exists. I am conscious of electricity, yet I cannot see it. I know about the law of gravity, but I cannot explain it. If God can be fully proved by the human mind, then God is no greater than the mind that proves Him. I seek to explain creation without God. It just cannot be done! Our world travels around the sun at 66,600 miles per hour. Where does the motive force come from to give this inert mass motive power? If the world were nearer the sun we would burn up; further away, and we would die of cold. The world is just at the correct angle. What causes the world to go ‘round and round’ the sun? You guess, I know.
The existence of God is not dependent on any algebraic formula. Ask all the Scientists to produce a single blade of grass, ask them to produce a single living cell. Why they could not even produce a dead cell. Well what am I trying to do? It is to establish God by circumstantial evidence. Evidence, which leads us unremittingly to the conclusion that there is a God.
For the sake of time I will let others tear this tripe apart, but it is basically saying "amazing shit exists therefore god" which is not that impressive for even the worst drunk lawyer in the backwoods of Mississippi.
Quote:Let me call upon Nature to evidence God. The Bible says the Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Look at the regularity of the seasons in the precision of sun movements, the coming of day and night. Can any atheist or agnostic friends explain this without God?
Really .. this kind of argument is from the "world's most successful lawyer?"
Quote:Our eyes are fully automatic; they focus themselves; they are like a camera, a motion picture camera, not merely taking pictures in colour, but taking instant three-dimensional pictures and all without any laboratory equipment for development. I can look up into the heavens miles up, and the next instant look down at an ant a few inches away, and I can do so without any discomfort as the accommodation is effortless and immediate. Now, who made this wonder camera? Did it just happen? Even now as I write, the visual impressions of the words I am writing are being changed at the back of my eyes to electrical impulses which are them carried to the brain and the grey matter weighing a bare 3 lbs. immediately stores the information for use at the appropriate time, comparing new material with old which I previously stored. Can science explain these miracles? Or is not all science completely subservient to God’s will?
I won't continue quoting his drivel but it can be clearly seen that this guy was a fraud and could not compare to any competent US lawyer. He was also a pitifully incompetent christian apologist.
You should read a little of what a man has to say before you hold him up as a pillar of your beliefs.
