I disagree strongly with the OP.
You say that:
"God expects love and trust from us, and love does not require proof. In fact, I would even argue that faith and fact are opposite to each other."
The proof of the Gospel is the resurection of Christ and we have faith because it is a fact. Your post is actually classicaly liberal in its attempt to disasociate the gospel from historical fact. To do so destroys the Gospel.
We are commanded to proclaim the Gospel, we do not know if God will open the eyes of those who hear but if he does or not that is his sovereign choice. We cannot presuppose that he will not.
I agree that a presupositional approach is both the logical and biblically correct approach and that unbelievers will not respond without the gift of regeneration but we must never retreat from proclaiming and defending the historical facts of the Gospel.
