I've been accused of many things, but as I think most here can attest, denying logic is not in any way characteristic of me. Maybe you're just projecting.
Really? Explain how DNA could just create itself then. Explain how this entire universe could just create itself. Explain why we have food for 7.8 million different species of conscious life on this planet. Explain why we have a sex drive and a will to live. Why would nothingness even care if we had genitals, a sex drive, consciousness, emotions or a will to live? Nothingness cannot care. Explain why on top of all that and our amazing abilities to see and smell and hear and feel, and to think, why we also have a planet with electricity, fire, and a vast amount of useful materials and resources? There is too much luck and chance you have to believe as an atheist --to the point that it goes beyond what any rational thinking person would believe.

Wait...wait...wait...did you just add electricity to the list of goddidits?
How many times will you have to be told that no atheist needs to answer those questions? That your insistence on what atheists believe has everything to do with you, and nothing to do with atheism? That not having an answer to some question will not default to a meat fairy?

Majority of people are unable to discern impulse from thought. You mean they are able to even undertake credibly to discern delusion from reality?

That you seem to think that such a thing is even required seems to rather undermine your much touted intellectual superiority. It also greatly impugns your claim to be a skeptic. I'm reminded of Roadrunner's point about the difference between skepticism and pseudo-skepticism and suggest that you are instead simply a cynic regarding anything which diverges from the beliefs you have chosen to accept. That would be yet another exercise in special pleading, albeit a rather popular one.

Put down your stupid fucking bible, pick up Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, read it and try to learn something of value. Maybe then you won't sound like a silly religitard just dying to have your fairy tales be true.

Very unlikely that we would both be delusional at the same time and even if we were, it is even more unlikely that we would have the exact same delusion. And that is not even what has me totally convinced, although it got me 90% of the way towards knowing. The other 40 plus unexplainable signs pushed me to 100% and these are not things that can even be delusions. Some force grabbed my steering wheel and pulled me back on the road when my car drifted into oncoming traffic and saved me from a head on collision with a truck. I have had dreams that I wrote down and years later the things I had dreamed actually happened. When my mom was dying of cancer, a presense woke me up at 4:02 am the morning she died and I found out later that day that that was exactly the time she passed away. I do know none of these were delusions and I also know none of the signs were delusions.
I mean in general, regarding your conclusion that reason and logic inevitably point to God, and not just any god, but your specific god. I'd also ask it of your apparent belief that you are as knowledgable and intelligent with respect to the topics at issue, and your apparent belief that you are, "kicking ass and taking names."
I don't have a specific God. There is one creator God that we all believe in, but because we are all different, people relate to God in the way that makes the most sense to them personally. I did not say I was kicking ass and taking names. I just said you were making false claims about me being proven wrong. A lot of the discussions have come down to just different opinions and beliefs that cannot accurately be judged as right or wrong.

All of those other believers...that you're so fond of referencing, beg to differ.

There is a common theme to all your questions and that is that if I cannot provide said explanations then yours is the obviously correct one. As any student of logic and reason, such as yourself, should know, that is an argument from ignorance and the conclusion doesn't therefore follow. Far from impugning my character and my attitude toward logic, it rather impugns your own.

Thank you for the clarification. That doesn't answer the question asked. If you were delusional regarding your general beliefs, your experiences, your general competence, your success in this thread here, or any of a number of things you've implied or asserted, how would you know?

Let's talk ERV: Endogenous Retroviruses
You have retroviruses embedded in your genome (ERV) in the same locations, with the same mutations, and the same leading and trailing sequences (LTRs) as chimpanzees (97%). Similarity of ERV declines with more distantly related organisms. This either demonstrates descent from a common ancestor or God gave you monkey cooties.
