Proof #11: no scientific evidence for God

The hosts read and rebut proof #11 from GodIsImaginary.com ('Notice that there is no scientific evidence'): no physical evidence of God, Jesus' miracles left none, the Bible is 'provably incorrect,' prayer statistics show nothing, and atrocities like the Holocaust and AIDS go unanswered. Rebuttals: extra-biblical accounts of Jesus as healer/magician; the risen Jesus appeared to 500 at once (1 Corinthians 15:6); calling the biblical authors 'primitive men' is selective snobbery (nobody calls Socrates and Plato primitive); signs don't persuade unbelievers (the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16; the crowd fed the 5,000 still demanding more signs). Verdict: 'proof number lemon, like a total fail' - 'probably embarrassment even to people who don't believe at all.'
