Lek,
A rational person would not expect anyone to accept what you've presented as evidence. Evidence has to be verifiable. If it isn't it's not evidence. You should seriously check your premises and ask yourself if you have any intellectual right to use the concepts reason and evidence. Or truth. What fundamental premises do these ideas rest on and what does your own philosophy's position on these fundamentals amount to? Is there a conflict? You seem to want to lash out at us for not accepting your "evidence" as if the problem is with us and not what you've presented. But that is just a rationalization.

The notion of a God is a wholesale rejection of these truths. It's like standing on the 6th floor of a building while demolishing the foundation and expecting the sixth floor to remain standing apart from its foundation. It can't be done.
