It appears that you are, in fact, trying to prove that your god is real, but simply don't realize that that is what you are doing.
When you are in LOVE, do you try to prove your GIRL exists? No. We talk about the girl of course...but the FEELINGS we have inside about that relationship are what makes us happy.
Our spiritual FAITH in GOD is what we are talking about. The path to Him, and the JOY it brings as a result.
No need to prove anything but Faith.
But then, we CAN prove that the girl exists. Not so much with respect to your god, I'm afraid.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
