What would you consider to be evidence for God?

Here's how it reads....
A fairy godmother may be assigned as a cause but not as a vera causa.
God Jehovah (using that name to specifically identify the Abrahamic god vs the multitude of other gods) may be assigned as a cause and as a vera causa.
Why?
Because we said so.
