Related: About this forumQuestions that theists can provide no good answer for:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1218275958The first, of course, is: does the Creator exist?
The general theistic response is that a god exists, and that all other gods except yours are a human invention. The theists often reason that, because they cannot find any evidence contradicting a god existing, that proves or heavily argues that god exists. The major weakness of this argument is that, if they have no idea what the Creator looks like, or what form the Creator takes, they have no idea how to look, or what to look for.

Not once has any theist ever provided any evidence for their god.

Because the best argument they've managed to come up with in the past hundred years or so is, "OH YEAH WELL YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE EITHER."
Which sounds really appealing if you don't understand statistics, which very few of them appear to.

The best argument they've been able to come up with boils down to, "Just you wait until after you're dead! You'll see! Nyah!"

on their fantasy that Hawking is being tortured right now, and will be for eternity.
