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.
God exists and created everything.
Stuff happens, and has a cause.
There must be a first cause, and my idea of God needs to be it.
Therefore, God exists and created everything.
Presupposition, special pleading, circular reasoning, oh my.

It's a petri dish of logical fallacies, therefore it stinks. I mean it REALLY stinks. Try again.
