It might be that I just don’t understand your logic. I exist and I feel no burden of proof to prove it to you. I am not here to prove to you that God exists because we all know, that would be an impossibility even if you had given the evidence required for your belief to be positive. If you were to say to me in your next post reply “prove that you exist” I would not could not and would feel no burden to do so.10 years ago. I answered you twice. Acknowledge it.
I wonder what the world would look like right now if all of the people that doubted an actually existing God would demand that he prove himself and he was the sort of God that allowed his creation to demand it and he was the type God that would give it to them. I imagine if all was upended at the whim of doubters the world might be quite chaotic.
I accept your reasons for doubting that God exists because they are yours. If my existence was based on constant proof I might be spending most my time proving to unreasonable demands of proof. My proof of my existence is the fact that I do exist. God’s proof of his existence is the same. Whether you believe or doubt, is your reality obviously.
I have a willingness to believe and it’s not based in God’s constant proving himself to me. The fact that he does not cower to my demands in prayer and proof acts is a fact of his being not in subjection to me, but the other way around.
As for miracles...Do you have kids? Have you seen a live birth? Procreation is a fact miracle and can be seen here and now. Of course some say that’s not a miracle at all. I say the world around me is a miracle, and to many others it's just a fact pattern based in some theory. A theory that accounts for our planet being the exact distance from the sun to support life and many many other statistical phenomena as just that.

What trap? Sow doubt?
What is the actual age of the earth? Can you tell me when the earth was banged into existence within a year let alone a month?

What do you want for acknowledgment, a kudos? You gave a dumb answer and asked no questions.
