The only person you're fooling is yourself. It's an old story. Nothing more.God existence is known by everyone so no proof is needed or even proposed.
That is incorrect. Nice try attempting to evade the burden of proof, as well.

God replied "Moses, I AM that I Am" which means that God cannot have an explanation of His existence which eternal to Him, for then He would depend for His existence on whatever thing it is that explains His existence, so the explanation of God's existence must be internal to Him; that is to say, God exists by a necessity of His own nature - "I AM Who* I Am" - God by necessity doesn't require a beginning (there isn't any explanation how this could be, other than 'God just exist)'. Beginning are only required on the cosmic timeline which is unidirectional where cause and effect transactions transpire. No 'these length' here since I fully endorse free will (God made the Garden of Eden very good [not perfect] but made it even better by later introducing free will).
* some translations have it as 'Who'.
So, god cannot be contingent/dependent on anything, including someone offering an explanation or evidence of "his" existence? So, you have no idea what it is you believe in and worship; outside of an old story? Do you even know what your god is?
