There seems to be no limit to the number of ways in which theists try to make excuses for why their god does not seem to exist. For example, if you ask them why he doesn't protect people from evil, they say their god cannot interfere with free will. If you ask them why prayers are not answered, they say their god is too busy, or the answer was "No", or he knows better than you what you need. Young Earthers will tell you that the Earth was created to look exactly like it's 4.5 billion years old, even though it's really only 6,000 years old. Theists will tell you that you have a soul, even though every conceivable part of what makes us human is demonstrably biological in nature. Theists will tell you that you can see reasons to believe that a god exists, but only if you already believe that a god exists.
Any others?
Theists seem to be able to imagine any number of reasons as to why gods don't appear to exist, except the most glaringly obvious one of all:
Gods don't exist.
