This was from a PBS series based on Mortimer Adler's book Six Great Ideas Iwhich appears the book in his hand). It was a wonderful series that I wish could make it to You Tube.
He's correct that there are only two kinds of evidence, the emperical and the logical. However, the reality of god is easily Disproven as such: a) All words are refer to something actually existing, by definition. b) Some things exist as concept but not in any verifiable external sense. c) Concepts which do not have an external correlate are indistinguishable from fiction. d) God exists as a concept. e) There is no way to define the concept of god sufficiently to verify externally. #igtheism f) Even if the concept of god could be defined sufficiently to test in theory, finite beings cannot test, or verify in any sense, an infinite being. g) The entire trace of knowledge is toward greater and greater causality. h) Every concept of god as ineffable (indefinite by definition) is Inherently indistinguishable from fiction. i) A difference that makes no difference, is no difference. "for all intents and purposes" j) Given g, any theoretical logical necessity for the existence of god can only continuously decrease in possibility. k) To be logically necessary, god would have to do something that can't be done in other ways. l) We are extremely limited beings in relation to the amount of information available in the universe, all of which most theories of god encompass. m) Even to imagine we could understand a single aspect of the infinite is the ultimate egotism. n) Given that there is No Possible empirical or logical evidence for the external existence of Any Possible Version of the god concept, to believe in god is indistinguishable from believing in fiction.

very very good debate for the religious faith argivements as it was concluded religious faith is beyond argivement in the world.

"Religion is misunderstood myth." --Joseph Campbell
Faith is belief without reason, the polar opposite of knowledge, and it is not possible, by definition, to find truth in faith.
