Maybe god already did, and you missed it!

Maybe you need to wait a bit longer. God is patient!

Maybe you said the wrong thing at the wrong time and god wrote you off!

Maybe you can provide more details and I can invent a scenario where they fit! That's the key to apologetics, IMO. Anything and everything is proof for god. Square peg and round hole? The Mallet of a Thousand Conveniences is up to the task!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
