The evidence is the fact that actually science works.

This is why we can't have nice things.

You might have well have said you see God in every sunrise, in the smile of every baby, in every dog fart...
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

What is your explanation for the fact that the universe has a rational order? What is your explanation for why people have the rational capacity to discern that order?

Classic "We don't know, therefore God" argument.  We both know that I don't have an explanation you will accept because you ignorantly believe that if you can just reject any and all other possible explanations that makes your preferred explanation "right by default", being the only one left.  I've played this stupid game far more than I want to already.  I'm not playing it with you.  I will just say that reality doesn't work that way.  You don't prove what is right by just rejecting anything you don't like.  Just as you reject all rational explanations, I reject your magical explanation.

And it would be absurd whether or not a God exists. There's no reason to think absurdity is an option for any scenario.

Going for the argument from ignorance, eh? If we hadn't the slightest clue to an answer to your questions, it wouldn't raise the odds of you being right by even 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001%.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

The fact that science works is evidence of the efficacious nature of the method.  Try again.

What's the implied alternative...irrational order? Work that one out for me. No order?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My new mobile is evidence that Santa is real.
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.'

Ah, it's the new religious approach. Science is true, but God did science. It does allow theists to accept science and get on with an education, so I prefer it to the old "deny reality" method. I think religion will have to take this approach or perish, in secular countries.
