I think what we have here is a serious case of begging the question. We are talking about scientific evidence to support the claim that god(s) exist, where Angel is talking about his own, faith-based definition of 'evidence': That which can be interpreted in such a way as to support what he already believes.
1. Humans rule the world and can imagine there is a god is seen as "evidence" that god is real.
2. Science can't explain everything, so god must have done those things.
That is not how "evidence" works, Angel. Using that word is what has turned this into a game of semantics. It all boils down to this: You presented your brand of "evidence" and we will not consider it evidence, because we do not have a prior belief in god. Do you have anything demonstrable? No... if there were any demonstrable evidence to support the claim, it would have come to light by now, I would think. Therefore, belief in god is only possible through faith... and that is a whole other matter.
