Like many replies I get, there is an attempt to invalidate my reasoning on a particular point by trying to ridicule it using some arbitrary fictitious subject, but the points I make can be compared to individual pieces of the jigsaw which, when put together, make sense of the whole reality of our existence. It is comparatively easy to pick on a piece of this jigsaw and claim that on its own it makes no sense. But putting them all together they fit well enough to offer substantial evidence for the spiritual nature of human beings and the existence of God. We have the existence of human free will, conscience, self awareness, miracles, witness stories, answers to prayer, four independently written gospels, highly improbable sequences of events to create life, the human tendency to search for God, incredibly precise conditions needed for the creation of stars an galaxies. Each of these points (and more) can be argued with individually, but putting them all together shows how they can validate the Christian faith in a way which is more difficult to ridicule as a whole.
