I think the proof of a supreme being lies in the every-day wonders which surround us. We see the proof everywhere we look, and can feel the life within us that didn't simply spring up out of nothingness. Life itself is proof of God. Show me the evidence that the soul (or mind, of you prefer) is nothing more than an accident. Do you believe in souls/minds? Show me yours. That will be your proof.

Argument from incredulity.

"Mind" is another term for conscious. I don't believe in souls.

We can acknowledge it as being (somehow) the work of God only after we acknowledge that shout of "I AM" for what it really is.

Life itself is proof of God.I'm ok with this as long as it sticks to generalities, but when some makes the leap from "sense of wonder" to "Genesis is literal history", I can't follow that path. Religious texts are graven images, as surely as idols of gold.
Belief should be the servant of truth, not its master.

This is equally good evidence that Unkulunkulu created the world.
