Again, what do you mean by evidence or proof?
Well, for a start, let's contrast God with my parents. My parents love me, they call me up & ask me how I'm doing, they drop by on occasions & say G'Day, they care for what I'm doing & how I do it, they give me life advice & if I did something wrong, they'd be the first to correct me. To me, this is Evidence - albeit first-hand evidence - because of that, I'm confident my parents exist.
With a God, firstly, which God, or Gods are we talking about? I know of a few propositions from just among the people I know - Allah, Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva, YHWH, Jehova, all proposing their unique selling points on "Creation" - then there's also a proposition that we're in this on our own, and we have to look after ourselves, even if only until a God proposition can be verified. So far, none of the Gods currently worshipped have stepped forward to clear up the confusion and for some reason, whichever God(s) exist, doesn't even seem to care about not only all the different religions, but even vesions of the same religions that believe in mutually exclusive things about the same God! If there was a God, and that God had plans for us, and that God cares about having a relationship with us, then surely that God could at least put in a little effort like my parents do to let us know in person about him, couldn't he?
Let me put it another way. Imagine you were brought up in an orphanage, you learn from one of your fellow orphans that your parents are alive and love you dearly! You think to yourself, "Great! I'll get to live with my Real parents one day!" one kid tells you about how he has letters-from-your-parents, saying they're Millionaires and there's a Beautiful Mansion awaiting your homecoming when you come of age and leave the orphanage - this kid is adamant they're from your parents and he has their letters for you to read, and he keeps them safe for you and helps you understand them better for the small price of your cafeteria meal every now and then, particularly the bits you don't understand, like why they don't come get you now, and why they don't visit you personally, etc. .... but then another kid, this time an indian kid comes over, he says He has letters-from-your-parents too, they're completely different to the letters the first kid has, this kid tells you that your parents are from a commune that is self-sufficient in a tropical paradise lagoon, and the better you conduct yourself at the orphanage, the better off you'll be when you get to this paradise lagoon. the indian kid assures you of the beauty of this lagoon paradise, and it sounds Great! - same thing though, he asks for sweets and other knick-knacks to let you read these letters from your commune parents, they're nothing like the letters the first kid has, and this proposition has different but equally attractive post orphanage propositions..... then another kid comes over, he's an arab kid, and he claims he has yet another set of letters written by your parents, loosely similar to the first kid's letters-from-your-parents, but the arab kid's letters-from-your-parents are definitely different enough that one of the two sets will have to be wrong, but both are certainly nothing like the indian kid's letters from your parents... the arab kid also wants you to tythe some of your cafeteria allowance to look too. Now you have Three sets of "letters-from-your-parents" and none of these kids have any real evidence beyond their say-so that their letters-from-your-parents are real... How can you tell which one (if any) are from your real Parents? Why do all of them not have any evidence that they're from your real parents, and none of them make sensible cases for why you're still in that orphanage either...
.....and then an asian kid comes over......
I appreciate that, but we’re talking logic. What logic does it take to say everything just came about spontaneously from nothing for no reason? You have to admit that besides that being a weird occurrence, it’s also not very heavy thinking. Where’s the spotlight on it? The universe exists... therefore it must have been created... who or what could do such a thing besides almighty God... Now that’s logic, that’s the way you tell it.
What if we have no evidence whatsoever for the beginning of the universe? Why isn't "I don't know" the better response than an answer that can't be demonstrated and therefore could very well be the wrong answer? Assuming an answer before we can verify its substance is a show-stopper, it prevents you from looking for the potentially correct answer.
Perhaps....
