How be specific?
A Christian looks at creation and sees this as evidence that the Christian God exists.

A Hindu (for example) looks at the same evidence (creation) and equally sees this as proof that their Hindu God of creation exists.


Is the Hindu wrong? If so, please specify why?

The universe itself.

What evidence?

Sorry, are you saying you don't view creation as evidence for the existence of your God, or accept that a Hindu might do the same?

Are we having different conversations?! 😲

I have been asking you what evidence are you referring to? If Christianity and the Hindu faiths share something in common what is it?

They share a belief that their own God is evidenced by creation (and of course can't both be right).

I'm asking you (pretty clearly I think) how is creation evidence for the Christian God alone when other religions make the same assertion?

Edit: I pick a flower and say, "Ah, evidence that the Christian God exists." I then pick a second flower and say, "Ah, evidence that Brahma exists."

So a claim without cause?

/facepalm

To you, anyways. To a Hindu, there is plenty of cause.

At least as much cause as you have in your Bible. They have holy books too.

How are you still missing his point?

How many senseless wars have been fought over this?

How many people had to die in the Crusades because "only our cause is just"?

Witness Lee speaking on Incarnation

"God made man a spirit with His own breath.
God's breath of life is the material with which God made man."

You will find out what the tree of life signifies.
You will discover how the beginning of the Bible and the end of the Bible are the same - man to take in God as life.

I'm asking for what is it about the Hindu faith and Christianity that we can look at and do a side by side comparison for creation stories. I'm not sure what you are doing bringing up the Crusades, I'm pretty sure creation in both faiths that took place long before that period in time when creation occurred.
