Until you prove the existence of any god, arguing about which one is the right one is like arguing which fairy has the shiniest wings.
I have a personal take on proofs of the existence of God. Since any logical proof of existence relies on a set of axioms that everybody agrees on to be correct, there cannot be one. We cannot prove by pure reason that anything exist, we either resort to evidence left by that thing as showing its existence or, in the case of God, we evaluate weither any prophet who claims to come from him has valid claims, and the truth of the prophet's claims is evidence of God's existence.
Let's suppose the Kalam argument is true, and is the only proof out there. Then how do you explain the details of the proof to the layman? And is it fair of God to make the only way to get to him a logical maze vey few people can get out of?
Any proof of God - not necessarily logical - has to be accessible even to the ordinary layman who cannot follow a logical train of thought. And prophetic claims are the best candidates for that.
