I really don't even see how such a high percentage of people believe in this.  A claim with zero evidence or corroborating proofs is somehow believed by about 3/4 of the population.  74% of otherwise sane adults believe this, and it's mind-boggling.

Give me one piece of evidence.  Just one.

And therein lies the problem. I have proof that there is a God, but it's all anedoctal with some circumstantial thrown in. I could lay out all the experiences in my life that have led me to believe God exists, but you would find fault with it. You could lay out alternative theories for most, if not all, of my experiences. Even though I'm skeptical about a great many things, even though I've always been a "see it to believe it"kind of guy, I still have found the evidence I need to believe in God.
