First, kneel? People have been saying that sort of thing for ages... and the only thing we see happening is that people die and pass on the notion... Dead people don't have legs, so they don't kneel.
Confess that someone is the LORD?
First, confess? People confess for things they did that are wrong... why would someone confess something like that? At best, profess, no?
Second, LORD? Lord of what? Like a king? That's a terribly old-fashioned notion of the divine - a copy of the hierarchy people observed on Earth, around that geographical niche.
At first, you seemed to be able to differentiate your (faulty) conclusion that there must be some god that created this whole thing, from your belief that said god is the Christian one... but this sentence of yours just shows that the important thing, for you, is the belief part.
Faith trumps everything, huh?... well, you be happy with your life like that, while we remain in the realist part of the argument.
Go.
Bye Bye.
There's nothing more for you to see or do.
Despite all the proof and evidence of a Creator you still choose to be willfully blind to the notion. Unreal.
That's because there is no proof and the evidence is unconvincing. That is why ID was dismissed in a court of law, where the concept of "evidence" is very much adhered to.

Good for you.
But that's not what Christian philosophers affirm. I've told you time and time again to read up on philosophy. Have you even begun?

See just by trying to act smart you learned so much from your flaws.
Keep learning!
Quote:confess (v.)
late 14c., transitive and intransitive, "make avowal or admission of" (a fault, crime, sin, debt, etc.), from Old French confesser (transitive and intransitive), from Vulgar Latin *confessare, a frequentative form from Latin confess-, past participle stem of confiteri "to acknowledge," from assimilated form of com "together" (see con-) + fateri "to admit," akin to fari "speak," from PIE root *bha- (2) "to speak, tell, say."
Its original religious sense was in reference to one who avows his religion in spite of persecution or danger but does not suffer martyrdom (compare confessor). Old French confesser thus had also a figurative sense of "to harm, hurt, make suffer." Related: Confessed; confessing. An Old English word for it was andettan.
Where's the persecution or danger in your scenario?
