I was invited here to discuss evidence for God. Can I prove God (of Christian Theism) 100%? No. But I can show that it is more reasonable that He exists than that He doesn't, i.e. that the evidence for theism is superior to atheism.

Let me outline some basic evidences.

1). God best explains the beginning of the universe. Current cosmology demonstrates that the universe had a beginning.

2). God best explains the fine tuning of the universe for life.

3). God best explains the existence of objective moral values.

4). God best explains the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

5). God best explains the transcendental aspects of life and man's "religious" nature.

Now, perhaps you can return the favor. Let's hear your evidence that atheism is true or superior where I post. There are thoughtful atheists and agnostics there who will evaluate the dialogue.

My perusal of this board is that it contains atheists who are simply antagonistic to Christians and not thoughtful atheists who wish to explore the issues. So unless you come to www.carm.org and look for Kevin H (on either the Apologetics or Atheist Boards) I bid you adieu.
