I happened across as a letter to the editor posted on The Bakersfield Californian website. I find it very stereotypical of the sorts of circular reasoning you find from believers. The evidence they point to is in the Bible. Why should we trust the Bible? What makes the Bible trustworthy? I've yet to hear an answer that satisfies my skeptical mind.
The truth of the matter is that there isn't any physical evidence of a god or gods existing. Studies have shown that intercessory prayer does nothing apart from provide a placebo effect. You can't measure God. If you can't measure something then it has no effect on the natural world we live in. Things that have no measurable effect on the natural world are indistinguishable from things that do not exist.
You have to do more than just assert that a god exists with some vague references to fulfilled prophesies. You have to demonstrate the thing you are asserting.
