We'll ignore for the moment that you need to prove that he does exist; humor me in my disregard of the general expectations of reasonable thought:
This god is alleged to be perfectly merciful; he is also alleged to have created Hell. Some conundrum, that.
This god is alleged to be all-knowing; he is also alleged to have created Satan to test men. Ought not an all-knowing god know the answer of the test already? And in that case, what use might he have in creating Satan -- unless he is evil himself and creates Satan in order to have a scapegoat?
This god is alleged to be both perfectly good and all powerful, yet he has created cancer, and doomed every human to death for the sins of the first two.
This god is alleged to be omnipresent -- yet you cannot find hide nor hair of him.
I could go on; ask if you see fit.

You're clearly ignorant of the fact that amino acids have been found in comets, and meteorites.
They clearly form up in nature, unless you're wanting to argue that your little god throws them everywhere and only allows them to link up into genetic codes here in 'Murrica, fuck yeah.
Seriously: go buy an education. It's absolutely worth the money.

I believe apologetics is my calling...and it is work that I do for the Kingdom of God. It is me "doing my part" for the Kingdom. I defend God, Jesus, and the faith as a whole.
If you're the best he can do, your god is scraping bottom of barrel. Seriously, your "arguments" were seen on AOL 16 years ago; your "arguments" have been dismissed for decades before that; and you don't even have the philosophical basis for your belief; you're clearly engaged in ex post facto rationalization.
If you limit yourself to "apologetics", you're necessarily limiting yourself. Engage in free thought, subject your beliefs to limitless scrutiny, and be as unforgiving of your own preconceptions as you are of those who disagree with you.
If you can.
