Same reason I would ask for evidence were you to assert that Santa Claus really flew around with the aid of flying reindeer...
I will happily consider any actual evidence that anyone has concerning a supernatural being who poofs Universes into existence, but so far there has been none.

The evidence given never actually proves the existence of a god/s. The fact that I have eyes does not prove god/s!
Often, I think, people ask this more as a way of getting you to think about your own faith and the reasons for it.

Because when some religious person kill or hurt or steal or do any thing wrong to some one or to society in the name of God or (invisible being) he can not say in the court of law that God or (invisible being)ask him to do it and he is just doing the well of God or that (invisible being), this defense is not accepted by court of law and they probably well ask him to prove the existing od God or that (invisible being) or some evidence. It was happening in the past and this is one of the reasons led to the separation of Church from state.

We Just Don't Want to Believe, eh? If it has initial capitals it must be true. Actually, I would love to believe in God. I would love to think that some all powerful force was watching over me and helping me out. I would love to think that I would live forever after I die. With no disrespect to my fellow atheists, your beliefs are far more desirable than ours. I just can't believe them without evidence.

Your "evidence" would only convince the weak minded.
The eyes/head/nose can be created from stem cells.
Biology evolves, computers would fall under the mechanical category.
"ur" question does not impress.

"We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a 'this year's fact'. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years. Their reputation for 'truth and veracity' in the neighborhood where they resided is wholly unknown to us. Give us a new miracle, and substantiate it by witnesses who still have the cheerful habit of living this world. Do not send us to Jericho to hear the winding horns, nor put us in the fire with Shadrach, Meshech and Abednego. Do not compel us to navigate the sea with Captain Jonah, nor dine with Mr. Ezekiel. There is no sort of use in sending us fox-hunting with Samson. We have positively lost all interest in that little speech so eloquently delivered by Balaam's inspired donkey. It is worse than useless to show us fishes with money in their mouths, and call our attention to vast multitudes stuffing themselves with five crackers and two sardines. We demand a new miracle, and we demand it now. Let the church furnish at least one, or forever hold her peace." [Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods" 1872]

The problem here is that you do not have "evidence" of God's existence. You have argument which rationalize the probability of God's existence. Nothing more. Do not confuse the two.

None of the evidence i have seen has been sufficient. You can't simply say "look at this, do you know how it got here? You don't? Then i guess god did it." That is not proof, that is conjecture.

If I told you I have a million dollars in Switzerland, and I needed to borrow $500K from you, until I get over there and pick it up, would you loan it to me?
Probably not, eh?
I assume you would probably expect me to back up my claim somehow. What if you called all the banks in Switzerland, and they all told you they'd never heard of me, and that there was no money to be found under my name?
What would be your next move?
Welcome to the core of atheism, my friend. Hope you'll sit a spell.

God says, "Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find, Knock and the door will be opened," if they really want evidence that God exists then they need to search for him with an open mind.
