You're making an assumption that God exists.

No, the evidence points toward His existence. That makes my
model superior to yours, which explains away the evidence.

The great part about this argument is...

"No, the evidence points toward His non-existence. That makes my model
superior to yours, which attempts to defy the evidence."

You might have a point if someone can cite some actual evidence
that God doesn't exist. But I doubt they can.

Similarly, you might have a point if someone could cite some actual
evidence that God DID exist.

Please make sure that any evidence you provide cannot be repurposed to
prove the existence of invisible pink unicorns (unless you're prepared
to confess the same strength of belief in them that you have in the
existence of God.)
