Chad, while I certainly agree with some of your points, Rampant's response to your point #1 is exactly the same as what I was about to say.
The whole of reality proves that reality exists, nothing more. Science attempts to go into more detail as to how and why, although it doesn't have all the answers yet. But it proves nothing about the existence of any god. It's only if you go into it assuming God exists that you see everything as proof of God, even when there's not reason to see things that way. Circular logic, as Rampant pointed out.
