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.
