Sure, it sounds sophisticated, but it's not much different in quality from the argument from Bible or personal experience/feeling/miracles.
Why do I feel God every day? Can you get inside me and feel what I feel? Can you give me any proof that what I feel isn't God? I can't give you any physical proof that there is a God, but I know there is because of my experience. You really can't believe in God unless you experience him. You just can't explain the supernatural from a natural perspective. If God operates beyond the natural then you can't argue that science can't prove his existence, therefore he doesn't exist.
I could use the same line of reasoning for unicorns and Aztec gods and Allah, and would they be just as true as your God if they were true to me?
