A basic answer by this laymen. Best to read at source due formatting, and where further editing, as warranted, can occur.

If someone can explain to me how chaos becomes orderly without at least intelligent design, I’d like to hear it.

At the end of the day it’s all about faith in the unproven.
We all choose our own path.
Anyone that tells you they “Know” is full of Sh*t.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse
Romans 1:20.

Intelligent creation requires an intelligent Creator.

Next.

Atheists (who claim to be pro-science, by the way. This will be important) claim that lack of evidence is evidence in itself for God’s non-existence. But that is completely contrary to the scientific method. Evidence is evidence, not the lack of it. They are not pro-science in this case.

I would respond by saying that the existence of God CAN be proved scientifically, then point to Foundations of Faith, Practical Essays on Christian Evidences by Samuel G. Dawson, available at Amazon. Dawson is a physicist and he proves it in 16 pages using the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Yes, it’s possible under that scenario. From there Science* can move on to probabilities, which Science* loves when it comes to Global Disaster-ing, but probably hates when it comes to this subject.

The most doctrinaire is the atheist. His is the most tightly held belief.

The agnostic allows for both the existence and non-existance of God.

Not the atheist. Nope! He has a certainty that, arguably, exceeds the belief structure of the theist!

My answer to someone who said that would be, “You are off to a good start. You have caught up to Blaise Pascal. Now go read Dennis Prager’s Rational Bible books and after that we can talk about the New Testament.”

for those who believe, no explanation is necessary

for those that don’t, none is good enough...

Answer: Read the New Testament. You either believe that Jesus is the Word who created the universe and everything in it, or you deny the testimony of the New Testament.

Jesus speaking to the Jews: "Abraham said to him (to the rich man indifferent to suffering Lazarus) ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’ ” - Luke 16:31

I believe you CAN prove the existence of God. But…

Believing that Jesus is the son of God, that there is a holy Trinity, or that God offers salvation are all articles of faith which cannot be scientifically proven.

Was all of that necessary?

By the time you scroll through it all you’re too worn out to answer .. since it looks like you’ve already answered your own question.

A SHORT answer to your question is to actually have studied the scriptures and then look to science and archeology to see how they align with one another.

There really are scriptures that tell a story, a time or a science detail .. long before scientists discovered it!

Yes, science has proven the existence of God using books such as Genesis. Listen to Chuck Missler. Learn the Bible in 24 Hours. On YouTube. Be ready for learning things u never knew about our Creator.

Science operates in the bounds of infinity. It operates in the bounds of what can be observed, measured, or computed. God operates in eternity. In eternity humans can only speculate but can adjust their guesses by the evidence around them. Only through faith can they decide upon the nature of god. Denying the exitance of eternity is for Neanderthals.
