Here is why you should believe in God.

You clearly said inference is reasonable, that no one is arguing about it. If so, why won't you go with what's actually reasonable..?

"We exist, therefore the requirements of our existence are met" - follows

"We exist, therefore moongod"....simply does not.

Of course it doesn't logically follow. That's what my post is about - logical proofs don't actually matter that much practically, we inferred a burglar from some hints on a crime scene, we have billions more hints around us to infer a creator.
Nothing a detective gathers as evidence logically implies a personal, intelligent criminal. But he acts and infers on hints he finds. And that's what you have in real life, precise physical/chemical laws, diversity of creation, DNA, etc........

I don't have any personal experience with the divine, you're mistaking us for christians here, I think.

I have never seen one either. Now you better pick an option on what happened to Muhammad back in the Hira cave, I hope you don't think he lied knowingly to everyone surrounding him for 23 years, that he was at least sincere and convinced that he saw an angel, so well that he uttered a landmark literary work ..........
