Am I correct in saying that when a non christian says that there is no evidence of a God the presupositional Christian would counter by saying that there is clear proof of God (i.e. creation) but the non Christian does not recognise this evidence due to his own presuppositions?
I had this discussion this evening my wife. Why doesn't the unbeliever recognize the evidence of God? Two passages come to mind.

Ephesians 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

1 Corinthians 2:14 14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

The unbeliever is incapable of understanding "the things of the Spirit of God." This would include natural revelation. The unbeliever remains in this state unless God changes the status quo.
