See, this is the sort of thing that I find so ridiculous about god claims (and which chances are high that Christian is parodying). First we get the WLC-style blind leap into the Twilight Zone, where we start with some random observation of the natural world and then launch ourselves straight to "therefore God" with nothing in between the two. Alternatively, we're asked to just accept the existence of the most impossibly unlikely entity it's possible to imagine, then for evidence we're presented with, say, a tree. Or in this case the Earth. Either way it's a textbook argument from ignorance, not to mention insulting to the intelligence.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That explains all the UFO sightings. It's your pastor and his friends returning in their flying saucers after they've explored the whole universe. 
 Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?

God is proof of God. We do not need anything else. After all what better proof is there of your existance than you? If you want real proof A/S/K for it, and we are told that whatever obstical we need moved, God will move.

God is the claim. A claim is never proof of the claim.

Shit is proof of shit! You dont need to trample into it! Smell it! Smear it arround your face! Or observe it swiming in you local rivers!
is different to:
Unichorns exist! I have seen them in movies! In books! But never myself - yet they must exist for they exist in popular culture and in the hearts and minds of so many! Unichorns are therefor the proof for unichorns!

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and consider that possibly you just didn't think this through. One reason is that you've not made a second post in this thread, which would be understandable if you realize your mistake and are at a loss.
So the question is: will you slink away and pretend it didn't happen or admit that you made a mistake?
BTW, enough of these moments of 'aha, something convincing for God!' followed by 'oh, crap!' can lead to atheism.

And as there is no god, there is no proof of god and therefore there is no god. Hence proven.

Otherwise if I claim to have a son 13 years old, then the only way to truly proove that i have a son 13 years old is to produce said son. Like wise If God claims that "I Am" then the onis is on God to produce said proof. The only stipulation being we must seek after said 'proof' His way.
A/S/K for God. God shows up. How much more 'proof' is needed?

I personally do not have proof that you mother ever existed. Does my exposure to what you obviously know to be true, dictate the whole of reality? If no, then why should what I know to be true (as limited as that is) repersent or dictate the whole of reality for everyone else? If it shouldn't. Then why does your limited knoweledge of the universe dictate or repersent reality for me?? Because you said so? Because it is what you believe by Faith? again what makes what you believe by faith superior to what I believe?
