In other words, what would we need as evidence that God is real?Seems a bit extraneous to me. Why call "everything that exists" "god". Does "God" describe "everything that exists" in a more accurate way than, oh...I don't know "everything that exists"?
A god, I think, would be fine evidence for the existence of a god. No need to complicate it. If someone asked you to prove that frogs existed.....would you shoot straight for a pet shop to get a frog, or would you prevaricate around some bullshit about defining "frog" to mean "everything that exists"? As for something that holds everything together or "in"..believe what you're looking for is invisible and begins with the letter G.
