Let me answer by asking you a question..
If you were adopted... How do you know your adopted parents are the "right ones?" How do you know they are your parents?
Does your selection of the "right parent" even have anything to do with this equation?
-Or-
Is it more about your parents selection of you...
The same is true here. We do not select God, God selects us.
well, in your hypothetical scenario, we could start simply by having actual proof of existence of said parents, then we could move on to further analysis and even DNA tests if required. Your god fails at the very first step though...
