You’re running away from his point, stand up to it and argue your case man.

Where have you “laid out a case”...which page, which posts?

Does "the universe" constitute evidence that supports the claims that other religions make about there being a creator?

But rocks can be, and are, dated to see how old they are.
They are all different ages.
Why would scientists bother dating rocks if they thought your "logic" was sufficient?
Nobody (at least nobody sensible) says rocks must be billions of years old because the Earth is.
What we do know and agree with I believe is that we don't see any rocks that are dated
as eternal in any of our tests.
So going back to my argument from earlier there are two things I also believe true.
1st you only get nothing from nothing since there isn't anything to change.
2nd there isn't anything that wasn't here before that just created itself by itself.
This leaves that the universe has to have been made by something outside of itself.
The dates can be argued having it here in my opinion shows evidence for God.

Nobody is doubting the sincerity of your belief; the point here is that sincerity of belief is not evidence of anything other that the person with the sincere belief, and even then, if they apply rationality, they should see that their own sincerity is not evidence.
Time to put your noggin on the pillow and saw some logs. You had a long night at the pub.
I put some aspirin on your nightstand for when you wake up and your head feels like a throbbing cotton ball and your tongue like a Persian rug.

You need to recognise the difference between your opinions, your beliefs and actual evidence.

to us. We can state we believe this due to that, it is unescapable since we are going to
be trusting somethings true or not. We don’t trust everything that we are presented with
as factual, or that it proves what others suggest. We must make up our minds to either
reject something as meaningful or accept it, but it is always going to be based upon our
opinions.
Originally posted by @fmfCreation is an act not evidence, the universe is the evidence which I believe points to
Do you believe that 'creation' is only "evidence" for Christian belief in a creator?
creation, and since I'm a Christian I think it is plain that I believe the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob did it.
Originally posted by @divegeesterCorrect, our opinions look at what is around us and we either accept or reject this means
I completely agree, it is entirely based on opinion.
Opinion is not fact, opinion is not evidence, do you agree?
that, or it proves this, or it means something else, and disproves that. Which is why I
stated the two reasons I believe the universe is evidence for God, again only nothing
comes from nothing that is all that will ever happen there, and there isn't anything that
can create itself out of nothing.
