I do not think the question should be approached (this time) with an attempt to scientifically prove the existence of God. There is plenty of information out there that could be presented, ad nauseum, which is persuasive in favor of, rather than supporting the alternative view of evolution. After all, "the only proof for evolution is the assumption that it is true"! Instead, a different way of thinking could be brought to bear by changing this question slightly to "Is faith reasonable?" The answers then can be understood on a more viseral level.
God is reasonable. He says "Come now, and let us reason together" (Isa 1:18) He wants to negotiate. Thing is, any debate with God is a losing proposition for the opposition, as I am sure Satan can attest. How can you argue with the One from whom comes only good for His people? You will very willingly be seeing it His way in short order.
Which reminds me of the next point. Why would anyone want to be a member of a religion? Religion has requirements and rituals for attempting to appease it's god. God, who reveals Himself in the Bible, instructs us to trust Him. He has done and is still doing the work which is our salvation. He knows we cannot. Anything we do for Him is just love on our part. What could be more inspirational than that?
What is outside the bounds of what is reasonable is turning away His free gift. God is under no obligation to prove Himself to us in any way, but because He is both just and merciful, He has left us with the record of His miraculous love. The one who refuses will be the one who is proved to be the fool, stripped of all semblance of reason.
