Sure I can. The existence of rationality is not evidence of God. Period.

For the sake of the argument, what if it was? Which god or gods would it be evidence for? And why? And how does that bolster any such argument?

If rationality were the evidence for a god; one who expect a god to be rational. One would also expect the god to be good because one that wasn't would probably end up destroying everything. If it's true that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and we have seen plenty of that here on our planet, then an all powerful being would need to be absolutely good in order not to be corrupted. So then you would need to have a rational, good god. That could give you criteria to determine which gods would qualify and which ones you could eliminate from the selection.
