That is the definition of a presupposed conclusion. What we are all trying to tell you is that none of these things are actual, demonstrable evidence that god exists. Unless you already believe in god.I offer this as contention;
During my change from Atheism to Christianity, I began to notice things that confused me and startled me, that I could not explain from an atheistic, materialistic, or scientific viewpoint. Believe me, I did try to do so. I looked for refutation and explanation, and found none. Only when I applied God to the scenario did things begin to make sense. And with it, a lot more in my life began to fall into place as well. Keep in mind, I still considered myself Atheist up to a point, but there came a moment when it just was not possible to explain what was happening in this way any longer.
So because you lacked an explanation for things that confused you, goddidit?
