Not enough evidence

I listened to the radio today and on it was a man who says he was a preacher of some kind and has now converted to Atheism.  His claim was that there is simply not enough evidence.  This makes me ask as simple question, what kind of evidence are we talking about?  Does he mean empirical?  Then aside from the miracles around the world, which would require faith (more on that latter), then he is right.  The invisible, omniscient God is not confined to what we considered to be empirical evidence.  To be able to point to a scientific fact of some kind and say," yep there it is God has been proven by this scientific means." would mean God is not God.  That would imply that we can narrow him down, or fully understand him in some way.  It would make God a created thing, as all physical things have a creation, thus he would not be above us or beyond us.  In a word he would not be God. That said, the touch of God can be seen in every single created thing.  His Glory is revealed in creation.  If you cannot look into a mirror and see the glory of God, it is not that the evidence is lacking, but grace and when grace is absent blindness is the result.  This man's atheism began when he stooped praying, he did not play because he became arrogant. Prayer automatically leads to humility, when prayer stops pride sets in.  Before long this man began to rely on his own mind, and when his finite mind could not grasp the highest good in all its wonder, which is God, he fell into darkness while staring into the sun.  Now because of his blindness he cannot see the light that is all around him and in creation, so thus he can’t see the evidence and concludes the sun must not exist.  That is answering if he simply means empirical, but I think he must mean it in that sense because if he means with reason, then he is simply irrational.  During this radio show he said he would rather we focus on those children who are suffering.  The question is, if there is no objective standard for Right and wrong, good and bad, then why?  Who cares about anyone else?  If all I am is self absorbed, devoted to my own survivals, then I do not care about anyone, including my children.  To say “well I must be concerned because if civilization fall apart then it puts the collective in danger which I happen to be a part of" is a big stretch to say the least.  Forget that fact that no animal on earth thinks this way, or can even reason at all, but the actions of one who is concerned for survival alone would be to conquer them when they are week and use them for food or slavery.  In a world he claims that is so selfish there has been extraordinary acts of selflessness, one need only point to the Saints.                                 

I am going to move on because that is not his real argument at all, in fact it is a red herring, a distraction.  The real argument is this, how can he ever use any valuable words or thinking while denying the metaphysical realities, which are the invisible, or spiritual realities.  He clams we need justice, a word that has no way of really being proven.  No empirical data can prove "Justice" "Love" "Peace" "Right" "Wrong".  Put simply he is betting on nothing, at the very least I am betting on something, that there is a God, and something is always better than nothing. It is an act of irrationality to claim God does not exist, and thus unscientific.  Science does not make claims, only theory's.  It also does not ask the question why but how.  If God exists then words such as “suffering”, and “love”, do not have any value. Evil would only be a matter of perception, which ends in relativism.  With God the world makes little sense, because it is a mystery, without God it does not make ANY sense.   In the end Faith is needed, even more so with an Atheist.  He must take it on faith that every act of creation came into being without any creator at all, It simply just happened.  He must take it on faith that what is said by a scientist is fact, that 2+2 is 4 and not some other number, because without an objective standard it is all opinion.  Either God created the universe where math is what it is, or we simply made it up
