As a side note, if your goal is to acquire evidence, then you are engaged in science, not philosophy.
That's kind of the point. People who demand physical evidence for metaphysical inquiries are missing the point entirely. As a subjective experiencer of physical reality, you necessarily cannot objectively observe it, contrary to what many materialists believe. You can't be neutral on a moving train. Demanding physical evidence for the existence of God is like demanding physical evidence that you exist. Inferences and intuitive knowledge are an entirely different beast.
