1. Formulate the information of the concept of God, thus:
"God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.
5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of God, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
6. Conclusion: God exists in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
What do you think about my proof for the existence of God?
The problem with this line of reasoning is that you have assumed that original cause was a human-like figure you call God. There is no proof of this. What you have laid out are claims connected by logic and they need hard proof for verification.
As we know it today, the big bang was the ultimate cause of everything. You can claim God (or Gods) set this into motion, but that is just another example of God of the gaps.
Even if we are to accept your line of reasoning, it does not in any way show YHWH or the Bible to be true. It could have been Shiva who set the big bang into motion, can't it? This is a common problem almost all monotheists run into. You can never prove x was caused by your specific deity.
