2. That's going to vary quite a bit from person to person. The right word from the right individual might do it for some. 'I am real--God' spelled out in galaxies would probably do the trick for most skeptics. Probably most of us fall somewhere in between. For me, one supernatural thing would be enough to send me back to the drawing board, it wouldn't prove God, but it would prove that something supernatural is possible.
Fact = There is a world in which I live. I live in this world and I have relations with this world and its other creatures. I see them and I see that they are ordered. Their behavior is ordered, no matter if they are animal or plants, this is facts, right? I conclude that this order has to come from somewhere, and since order can only bee seen by intelligent minds, there has to be a superior intelligent mind that put this order where it is now, this is my conclusion.Why is it wrong?
bold mine

And how exactly did you reach the conclusion that human intelligence can only come from a "superior" intelligent mind?
