RE: I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

I have no confidence that you will actually respond to any of my points on this thread, but here goes again.
Oh, bloody hell...
I can find countless documents on the invention and the history of the nail. Bronze nails have been found in ancient Egypt dating back to 3400 BCE, with obvious forging and hammer marks.
There are zero examples of nails occurring naturally. No nail trees, bushes, vines, etc.
How am I supposed to know if it is possible or not possible to prove a god exists?
But the 'evidence' (including your 'proof) to support the existence of a god is not even close to being in the same realm as the evidence for nails, that I am the biological offspring of my biological parents, or that noses exist.
I can't speak for all atheists, but my atheism is a provisional position, not a dogmatic one. As soon as the case for the existence of a god, or gods, meets its burden of proof, I will no longer be an atheist.
But your flawed 'proof' does not even get close.
I apologize, but I used some concepts that use basic logic. I don't expect you to get them, because you are unable to accurately explain why fallacies are detrimental to logical arguments.

Try proving that the nail has an inventor, you find that difficult or even impossible?
Try it, I challenge all of you atheists: all you have to do is to know that the nail is not self-made, but it was invented by an entity with intelligence - as simple as that.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
