  BTS, do you actually agree with these points?

  I have skimmed through them and found numerous logical fallacies or incorrect assumptions. If I have time I may point some of these out, but I'm just curious if you also see them.

  The evidence of the existence of God is unfortunately wholly contained in the words spoken or written by men

  thats not a lot of evidence to rationalize from, out of mouths of ignorance men have spoken and people have listen.

  Therefore where is God ? In the human imagination

  I like the Kalam argument but there are several good ones in the list.

  Please clarify the meaning of your use of the word evidence?

  I like the Kalam argument but there are several good ones in the list.

  Many on the list seem to overlap. For example several seem to be based on the idea that the universe is not eternal, therefore it came into existence at some point. Something must have caused that, and that something had to be god. Even the Kalam one is based on that premise.

  Science agrees that our universe does not seem to be eternal. The matter we see was created at the big bang some 14 billion years ago. The author of these "arguments" makes the assumption that god must have done that. That's a big assumption. Why couldn't it be that the energy comprising the universe is eternal? The universe as we know it could be the zillionth universe that has existed in some big bang/big crunch cycle.
