Amy, the Bible asserts that everyone does in fact believe in God but they suppress this innate knowledge in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18 ff). They are not in a position of ignorance or neutrality in respect of the existence of God. Any approach that assumes such neutrality is flawed and unbiblical. Nowhere does the Bible argue for the existence of God. It is a foundational fact. The role of the evangelist is to declare the truth of the gospel; it is the Holy Spirit who regenerates. Arguing from evidences for God to prove God, at best only makes a case for theism and at worse reduces God's existence to mere probability.
