Evidence is considered proof in a court of law if the evidence for proof is clear and convincing, a preponderance, or leaves no reasonable doubt about a conclusion.

Just as the existence of a car is proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a designer of that car, so your body is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Someone designed you.

Apples to skyscrapers comparison. Nobody is arguing that cars are anything other than a created work. A product. But that is not the case with man, or the apple for that matter. By your process, if one believes that there is proof of God's existence, then God himself must surely have been designed by someone. If not, you're left with the same old problem of the uncreated creation. If something as complex as our conception of God can exist without cause, why not the universe? Positing God doesn't really solve the problem; it just allows Him to become the placeholder for all the uncertainties formerly attached to the universe.
