When an initial premise has no supporting evidence, [View all]
all arguments based on it also lack evidence.
Almost all religious arguments and apologia begin with a premise that has no evidence to support it.
It's logical failure from the get-go. No amount of apologetic frenzy can prove the initial premise to be true. In fact, there is no evidence to support the premise that a deity exists or deities exist. None has ever been presented.
If the initial premise is not true, the rest of the argument fails as well.
There the entire discussion is, in a nutshell.
