There also is no reference to the dinossaurs and the other pre-historic creatures( to my knowledge) in any of the scriptures.Nor have his followers been warned of the theory of natural selection. Looks like even God could not see far into the future I am surprised that god did not warn his messengers of atheists like Darwin, Dawkins et al.

Not only has your god been known to answer prayers and perform miracles (the definition of miracle is "An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature..."), but without the idea of God "breaking his own laws", there would be no Resurrection. Christianity would not exist! The world would be a much different place with a Creator, a deity capable of answering prayers and performing miracles. Wow is it unreasonable to expect a shred of evidence? How much by Stenger have you read anyway?

Can one not say that God left evidence of his existence all over the place, given that He may also have establihsed the natural laws that allowed the universe to form?

What Stenger is implying in this argument is that God established the natural laws of order, then to leave evidence of himself, would then break those natural laws to indicate His presence. Illogical. Like programming the phrase "God was here" to appear in every DNA helix for us to understand. I've examined Stenger's arguments. They're all suffer from significant logical flaws.
