Why have it backed by evidence?
Because we would then have some reason to accept your argument as correct. If you have nothing to back your argument, why would I bother with it?

No, I mean about Christianity. Why are you concerned about whether Christians have evidence for their views?

Why not?
Well, what we believe or not and why is a matter of simply appealing to our physiological makeup at any given moment, if naturalism is true.
What we believe or not and why is determined by how it aids in survival. Seems to me that trivializes such discussions.

The inability to traverse an actual infinite number of moments prior to the present moment simply implies that if there is such a thing as "this present moment" then the number of moments prior to said present moment cannot be infinite but finite. This would imply that time itself began at some finite point in the past, a conclusion that has been confirmed by scientific observation and a point which the author of Genesis made long before people had the means of making such scientific observations.

From van Tillian presuppositionalism to Anselm's ontological argument to the 'first cause' argument, in three pages.
Pick one crappy argument and stick with it, please.

I'm happy you're interested in seeing arguments for the existence of God. I think for you and I, it would be better if we came to some sort of agreement first on what type of argument it would take for you to abandon atheism for theism. What makes an argument good or bad to you? I think first, an argument needs to be logically valid. I secondly think that the premises need to be more plausibly true than their opposites.
Do you agree with those two?
