Your position is one of total negativity. There is no evidence to support atheism. There are no ‘proofs’ that God does not exist. The entire atheist argument rests on the absence of any evidence whatsoever.
At the least the Christian has the Bible, two thousand years of Christian history, various and sundry Christian denominations, prayer books, liturgical worship standards, and the support of history.These are things that can be seen, handled, examined and analyzed.
What do you have the to offer in evidence of your position?Attacks on the Bible, Christian history, the various denominations, prayer and worship and history. Your only defense is an attack.You cannot offer anything in support of you position except your own doubts.The only way that his position is in any way intellectually defensible is in the abstract – you can argue that it is at least possible that God does not exist.Your entire argument rests on that possibility. Moreover, and this is key, it depends on your possibility being theonly possibility.
Guys like Stephen F. Hawking cannot say there are no evidences for God, because Hawking cannot know all evidences that possibly exist in the world.
At best, the atheist can only say that the evidence presented so far has been insufficient. This logically means that there could be sufficient evidences presented in the future.
If your intellectually honest, you will acknowledge at this point that you have lost the debate, since your only alternative is to deny that there may indeed be evidence as-yet undiscovered -- which then becomes the foundation of his argument. Spelled out in words, it would read like this:My position is that I know beyond all possible doubt that which is unknowable, based on a total lack of evidence in support of my position. My argument would be, The age and existence of the Bible, the historical failure to stamp it out, together with the faith and inspiration it has engendered, and the billions of people that believe it -- all qualify as hard evidences that can be examined, debated and interpreted, but not refuted, since all exist in the real world and can be demonstrated.
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" (1 Peter 3:15)
