When you speak of the mass of evidence we now have are you referring to evidence that there is no God or just an understanding of how nature functions? The mass of evidence we have doesn't do anything to make me believe that there is no God. If I was an atheist, I'd go crazy trying to figure out how the energy in the universe always existed, as natural laws would require. It's kind of like trying to understand how God always existed, except that God doesn't have to follow natural laws.
