The dictionary defines evidence as "something that furnishes proof."

The dictionary defines proof as "the cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a fact."

The dictionary defines fact as "the quality of being actual; something that has actual existence; a piece of information presented as having objective reality."

The dictionary defines objective as "of, relating to, or being an object, phenomenon, or condition in the realm of sensible experience independent of individual thought and perceptible by all observers; having reality independent of the mind."

The dictionary defines reality as "the quality or state of being real."

The dictionary defines real as " having objective independent existence."

Simply stated, you are arguing for a SUBJECTIVE standard for what can be considered evidentiary. Yet, the very definition of the word "evidence" cries out for an OBJECTIVE standard of proof.

You are the one following a different and subjective path, not the atheists.

And, truth be told, there really is no argument. Evidence is objective or it isn't evidence.
