And how does this prove "God's" existence? Why doesn't it prove the existence of a universe-creating magical troll? Why doesn't it prove the existence of elves who created people out of clay and brought them to life? Why doesn't it prove the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Why does this prove the existence of your deity above anything else?
Also, I would point out that Thomas Edison experimented with literally THOUSANDS of materials before he developed a light bulb that would burn for more than a few hours. By your logic, after he failed a few hundred times he should have concluded that it's impossible to create a filament that will burn for a long time.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
