Do you have any evidence for Abraham Lincoln? How can you be certain of anything at all?
Well, let's see. We have a pretty well corroborated narrative of Lincoln's life. We have letters written to Lincoln from people whose historicity isn't in doubt. We have letters written by Lincoln to people whose historicity isn't in doubt. We have contemporaneous, extant newspaper accounts about Lincoln. We have examples of the original wanted posters about Lincoln's assassin. His name is mentioned pretty frequently in the Congressional Record of the period. He is mentioned in the Illinois Militia rolls for the Black Hawk War. We have contemporaneous, corroborating physical descriptions of him, written by people who both admired him and despised him.
And - this is the kicker - there are more than 100 photographs of Abraham Lincoln. If you've got any photographs of God, trot 'em out. You'll make a fortune.
In fact, there is so much evidence for Lincoln as an historical figure that it would be intellectually perverse to deny or even question his existence. To use the 'evidence for Lincoln' argument as a counter for the 'evidence for God' argument is (no offense) idiotic.
