No Frodo they weren't ... one of the key points about evidence is it has to be compatible with the assertion being made therefore a claim that evidence everywhere is evidence for your god cannot not stand because we already have more rational/more compatible explanations for those things. In essence as someone quoting Hitchens said above ... if (paraphrased) you can easily base the claim of your god on no evidence we can as easily dismiss it for the very same reasons. Nevertheless, in an effort to get you to engage and (perhaps) actually concede something that might get the debate moving forward in a constructive fashion I will again point out that your dismissing them DOES NOT count as dealing with the points that have been raised against your claim. IOW you have yet to justify why your god is excepted from the normal expectation of evidence and compatible explanation ... WHY DOES YOUR GOD GET TO ACT ON THIS UNIVERSE AND NOT LEAVE EVIDENCE OF SUCH ACTIONS WHEN NOTHING ELSE CAN DO LIKEWISE?
