To believe in God you don't need complicated reasons, or scientific reasons, or being intellectual, or having all the answers in the world. To believe in God, only one reason is needed: to realize reality.
Heb. 3:4 Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God.
The beauty of the Universe and everything that exists on our planet proves that there is an Intelligent and powerful Creator.
If you found a house in the middle of the desert, would you believe that it was made by itself as a result of sandstorms over trillions of years?
The earth is like a house in the middle of a space desert. It has drinking water, electricity, light, food pantries, indirect music, air conditioning and heating... and even carpets.
Rom. 1:20 For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.
Is there any objective reason why this very simplistic reasoning is invalid?

I'll tell you this. The difference between the death penalty, a life sentence, and 20 years --- has to do with eyewitnesses. No eyewitnesses, and there isn't going to be a death penalty conviction.

What does this have to do with anything? You claimed that nothing could be considered a fact unless it was personally witnessed. I asked if you witnessed the resurrection of Jesus to confirm it was a fact, and you respond with something to do with court sentences. You did not personally witness the resurrection of Jesus, so by your own criterion that event cannot be confirmed by you or any other living human. Correct?

In human affairs the sources of success are ever to be found in the fountains of quick resolve and swift stroke; and it seems to be a law, inflexible and inexorable, that he who will not risk cannot win.

Wow ... do you really think evolution works that way? Here's a tip ... go read up on evolution of the human brain. There are many easy-to-read web articles on this ... pick one:If evolutionists believe that humans are transmuted apes, they should show that at some point these apes began to feel ashamed of being naked and began to make clothing to cover themselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_brain
These apes of course not began wearing clothes first time out of shame.
Instead they got bored and bought themselves fashion magazines to do away time by reading.
And then they got convinced they wanted the newest line of clothes designed by Karl Magerheld!
