Part of your argument, Davidius, is correct: No argument by itself can prove anything more than a generic God. The God of natural revelation. Only Scripture, or a Scriptural argument, can lead one to Christ.
If natural revelation leads only to a generic God, then would not those who never get a chance to read the Bible, or only hear it taught poorly can be with excuse?

The best analogy of my current view of natural revelation is that it is God leaving his fingerprints or ID on the world. One can then look at that ID verses the ID of every other religion and only Christianity matches the fingerprints.

When people in some far out place sacrifice their children to the Sun god etc. They have no excuse because all the evidence they need to know that Sun god is not "The: God is before them.
