The favoirate argument for theist is resorting to miracles and using them as proof for god.Beside the fact that there are no evidence supporting any of the miracles from Moses spliting the red sea
1 to Muhammed spliting the moon.
But even if someone proved a miracle,which is almost impossiable,will that prove god ?
NO
"why? If god existed, he could do it very easily."
yes ,i meant members providing evidence
"what? elaborate."
a god can be a god without performing miracles,reading thoughts ,..having advanced knowledge,..(have the ability but not attempt to..intervene)
BUT
all of those can be performed by other beings,which are much more plausible
1.Aliens
2.Time Machine
these two are much more probable than a super natural being.
1.Aliens
Universe is vast enough to have millions of life forms
Earth is 4.5 billion years old,human have been around 100,000 years
so if another planet is 500 million years older
their technology is 500 million years more advanced
so what they can do can look like miracle to us
we can be guinea pigs for aliens
or prophets can be outcast aliens coming to earth and starting their own cult
2.Time Machine
Religions can be started by people who traveled back in time to initiate a way in oroder to manipulate people (American-Jewish conspiracy)
these may sound crazy but at least there are scientific bases for them
Time Machine

extraordinary claims (god) require extra ordinary evidence (Carl Sagan)
At least our reason is logical,and in my opinion there are 2 scenarios ;
1.Either god created everything => he set the laws of the universe , and since he is not remotely provable under these circumstances .....I take it as he dosen't want to interfere,or he is not a conscious being...something like a quantum fluctuation
2.Or there is no god
what could be some good evidence :
if we have empty bodies,and all the other animals had all the vein heart and shit.
if it is god who sets when we die and....why not have empty bodies that would just show there is something special about us.
+
empty universe with earth only,..so we know that universe is created for us
and a flat earth,the most efficient design.
not too obvious but still better than any miracle
