>> As a Christian what would you tell an atheist to convince them in Jesus without using the Bible as evidence?"

Nothing. As a Christian, it is not my responsibility to convince them of anything. God says that His law is written on man's heart and that with all of creation as a testimony to the reality of God, man is without excuse if he chooses to reject God.

So all I do is present the Gospel. If they reject it, that is on them and they will have to account to God one day for why they still rejected Him.

But if they pushed, I would ask them to prove to me that evolutionism is true and they can not use any textbook, paper or lecture to prove it. They must prove it all on their own and only using evidence that they themselves collected. They can't use anything they were told in school or read about.

That is only fair, right? If I can’t use my Holy Book, they can’t use theirs. That is cheating and cowardly to demand I can't use my book as evidence but they can use theirs when both are collections of words written by other people and passed down over the years.

See, evolution and atheism take faith in other people's words to believe. They trust in something they can not see or prove to base their beliefs on. They deny this, but it is true.

The difference is, I admit I have faith, and they won't—but they do and they must or else they can not possibly believe as they do. It is a faith based belief system they have.

Usually if asked to do this, they walk away mumbling something about me being a stupid Christian. I have never once had one take me up on that and even attempt to try.

They claim religious people believe the way they do because they are a product of their environment growing up. Well, look at them. They are too and after years of indoctrination in public schools, they already have it in their mind God doesn't exist. Because of the environment they grew up in, they trust that evolutionism is true.

There is no difference here. Evolutionism is a religious world view. They just try and pretend it is science— but it isn't because real science must be observable, testable, be able to demonstrate it and it must be repeatable. Evolution is none of these—so they believe it is true. And that is called faith.
