Gday,
No it isn't.
God is just as well evidenced as ghosts and fairies.
Pardon?
If you believe there is a God, then show us the evidence.
But we all know there is NONE.
That's why you can't quote any.
For God, the amount is ZERO.
Yes, we can see you are a faithful believer.
It IS doubted.
It IS completely REJECTED.
It IS known there is ZERO evidence for God.
Which is why you cannot cite any.
There is no evidence.
Just beliefs.
Which is why you cannot cite any evidence.
Of course you do.
You're a faithful believer who insists you faithful beliefs should be taken as fact.
But we are not fooled.
If YOU believe there is evidence for God - then SHOW US some !
But there isn't.
So you won't
Instead we'll get stories, beliefs, legends, ancient books....
All the usual.
But NO evidence.
Iasion
Two problems with this:
First, the idea of God is different from the idea of something like a ghost or fairy.
No it isn't.
God is just as well evidenced as ghosts and fairies.
Second, I think you misapply the rule-of-thumb that the affirmative assertion must provide proof.
Pardon?
If you believe there is a God, then show us the evidence.
But we all know there is NONE.
That's why you can't quote any.
On the first problem, the amount of evidence we demand before we believe varies from idea to idea, depending on our predilections, history, experience, and so on.
For God, the amount is ZERO.
Personally I find the idea of God more believable as a possible unproved first principle than most of the other things you list: it makes some aspects of the universe we find ourselves in a lot more comfortable. As a working theory God makes more sense, at least on the surface, than a no-God theory. To me atheism takes a deeper understanding; theism comes easily and intuitively.
Yes, we can see you are a faithful believer.
On the second problem, that there is no proof of something tells me almost nothing, since nothing, except within a circumscribed logical framework, can ever have proof. That there is evidence of God should not be doubted
It IS doubted.
It IS completely REJECTED.
It IS known there is ZERO evidence for God.

The issue is not whether or not there is evidence for God, but whether or not the evidence is convincing.
There is no evidence.
Just beliefs.
Which is why you cannot cite any evidence.
I think the person who asserts there is no God has just as much burden to provide convincing evidence as does the person who asserts He exists.
Of course you do.
