Due to the complexity of this cell, it was able to divide again and again in accordance with the self contained chemical instruction set. At first the cell divisions were random until the nature of the zygote was able to start producing specialized cells leading to the formation of an embyro. This embryo continued development throughout the term of it's incarceration within the mother's womb. Eventually it was developed enough that it realized it no longer cared to be swimming around in amniotic fluid and preferred air and sunlight. Behold, a baby is born. These biochemical interactions within this baby continued to develop, taking in outside information through the senses and building a structured memory and reflex system. Though the DNA controlled the major developments, there are still a sundry of random instructions, such as overall appearance, fingerprints, personality, etc.. Eventually, this child has grown into adulthood. This human has made friends and interacted with family, teachers, perhaps government officials and left a traceable mark on society. If I were so inclined, I could find information on this person through the internet, public records, friends and family. I could ask for a phone number and talk to this person. If I were a psychiatrist, I could do a mental evaluation of this person. If necessary to prove this person alive and similar to other human beings of known quantity, I could meet with robvalue in person. Touchy feely sort of thing.

Now, to do a complete analysis of robvalue would require extensive lab time and resources and volumes of information collected into several blu-ray discs.
Your god, on the other hand, has no public records, no phone number, no body to test, inspect, touch, feel, see, smell, hear or taste (no robvalue, I have no intention of tasting you). No evidence whatsoever. None. Zilch. Nada. Your god has only made it's existence known through a book it says it wrote.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
