Define what it means to be 'God' well enough that it can be tested. Remember, the burden of proof is on *you* to prove existence, not on others to prove non-existence. It is always the positive existence claim that has the burden of proof.
So, present a test that can be done publicly, that will give a demonstration of God's existence. This should be a test, that if it *fails* you will be willing to admit the non-existence. Then we can all do the test.
So you propose city names, which are often based on legends and myths, as evidence Noah's sons actually existed? Really? I guess Athens shows Athena existed, right?
If it is evidence 'not for us', it isn't public evidence. So it is anecdotal and thereby not admissible as real evidence. Your delusion isn't evidence that can convince others.
No, nobody is wondering what the creator of the universe whispered in your ear.
