The argument as I see it is not meant to prove the existence of 'God', but to provide a rational reason to believe in 'God'.
The argument fails on many obvious levels.
While I guess it can't be proven with absolute certainty that other minds exist, (please let's not sink into a discussion on solipsism), the evidence for other minds existing is pretty massive. Even before modern advances in neuroscience.
The evidence for the existence of 'God' is none existent in comparison.
And even if the argument was valid and sound, it still does not get you to Yahweh or Jeshua.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You're wrong. The evidence for "other minds" is not "pretty massive". I was pleasantly surprised that you made a fairly accurate representation of the argument and what it is meant to prove. But then you started spouting nonsense.
