The difference is that I actually have the experience; none of the things you listed point to any god, let alone the specifically christian one you believe in. Merely looking at reality, asserting by fiat that it's a creation, and then pointing at all the mysteries we have about how it came about and asserting further, based on no information, that they are impossible sans god, does not mean you have experiential evidence of god. It means you're stretching your beliefs through gaps in our knowledge to reach your conclusion, aka: the argument from ignorance.
The real slam dunk, though, is that we could take the noun "god" out of your list of experiences, past in some other god, and word for word, it would still fit. None of what you listed is specific to your god: any muslim could say that something can't come from nothing, therefore Allah must have created the world, and he has experiential evidence of that, for example.
