Correction: There is 0, zero evidence of any god, gods or anything supernatural for that matter.
Perhaps you should read the massive amount of liguistics studies that explain exacly who wrote the bible, wich political issues drove them, and realize it was all written by men, and by men's imagination.
You have the right to not take seriously an atheist that hasn't read the bible, it's your perrogative, but know that it isn't a book, no matter how well that is worded, that will prove anything. The Odissey is a much older book than the bible, so that means that there are sirens praying on poor sailors, and all the assortment of gods and monsters? No, because we have been around the seas for some time, we haven't seen no such things, there is no evidence.
