Well, what are the claims made for this character? Creation ex nihilo? Full-grown adults made from a bone? Impossible flood events? We could start with those.
The nature of evidence isn't that it's presented and "Boom! Headshot!". It's put onto the table and then assessed along with all the other presented evidence. If it can't stand up to scrutiny, it wasn't worth presenting in the first place.
Incidentally, asking atheists what evidence they need for the existence of gods - let alone God - is a shifting of the burden of proof. It's not up to me, for instance, to prove the theists' case for them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
