No, that's an argument from ignorance.  An argument from ignorance isn't evidence of anything.

...but evidence of the OPs ignorance.

Nope that's just ignorance

You can't explain how your version of God managed to accomplish anything, so there is no good reason to believe your God has actually accomplished anything... All you are doing is trying to fill gaps in knowledge with a God. And by happy coincidence, the God you're filling the gaps with will reward you for your loyalty.
You have no evidence at all to back up your assertion that your God is real. All you have is faith. Faith in a ridiculous empty promise.

God can't explain consciousness or existence of universe. This is evidence that naturalism is real.

Ask God what a glubitron is ?

Pray really hard and ask sincerely for him to explain to you the properties of a glubitron.

Ask when it will be discovered and who will give it the name glubitron. Ask when it will first appear in a published book.

You'll find that because YOU have no idea what a glubitron is, that god also has no idea what a glubitron is.

Talking to god is just talking to yourself.

Go ahead, give it a try.

The answer is:

Something that you don't know "what it is" beyond an excuse.

See, that wasn't hard.

You are wrong and if that was what your god told you, then your god is wrong as well.

Your god only exists as an imaginary part of your own brain.

You are wrong.  Go back to your dreams kid. Maybe there your excuses with hold weight with everything else you're fabricating there.

Your replies make me chuckle.
Are you on shrooms right now or simply all the time.
You bring up my dreams quite often in a thread that has nothing to do with it.
And you speak of excuses and fabricating things.
You might as well start talking about how the aliens touched you on Uranus.
That would make just as much sense.

Pray to your god to see if he knows what a glubitron is.
I already know that you don't know.

Maybe your mind is on excuses because you're trying to make up one for why your god doesn't know.

God has become clear to me through my experiences being born again and filled with the holy spirit.

How would you go about things if someone else offered an identical but competing assertion?  That they'd been filled by the holy spirit of some other god, which made clear to them that it wasn't your god?

Other people do offer identical but competing assertions regarding what they consider to be God. Although if you were talking about Judaists or Muslims, that is all the same God (the God of Abraham). If it were say a Hindu or a Jainist or sikhist, I would not criticize their right to believe in what I would call simply a different version of the same God. I would encourage them to embrace the teachings of Jesus and I would share my own experiences with them.

I'm sorry but I have to nitpick about this.

Firstly, human civilization goes back 10 or so thousand years with hunter-gartheres going back 50 or so thousand before that.

The current 'Monotheistic' phase only goes back a couple thousand.  With secularism and separation between church and state occuring for an easy quarter of even that time.

The assertion of 'My theism has done more good' is demonstrably false given just the time scales of history involved.

Sorry for the slight pedantry.  

That's ok. What I should have said was since it's inception, Christianity has done more good in world than any group of people who have ever existed.
