I see a car cross the bridge first. Bam. Evidence that it's safe. I've never been the first to cross a bridge. If I were to be the first to cross a bridge, I'd probably check it out first. You're reaching here.

It's not like I was a theist for the first 17 years of my life, or like my dad is a pastor or anything. Oh... wait...

Are you talking about "self" and all that spiritual stuff? Then no, there's absolutely no evidence. Things that have no evidence that they exist tend not to exist.
