   actually, because this matter of evidence for the existence of God has   
   been an ongoing discussion for some time, with it's associated dispute

   please note the following references-   
      
   E1.1   
   E1.2   
   E2.1   
   E2.2   
   E2.7   
   E3.1   
   E3.1.2   
   E4.1

   on the contrary, it seems I do. clueless atheists are the ones without   
   the first clue.
