You propose a number of topics that you say are perfectly explained by the existence of a supernatural deity, yet all of them have other more rational explanations that don't require the existence of a God. For example, the existence of consciousness is perfectly explained as a function of the human brain.

But you say, "I believe God is responsible for these things. Ergo, this is evidence that there is a God". You are entitled to believe whatever you want to believe, or whatever has been inculcated in you to believe. But your belief is not evidence. The intense fervor and passion of your beliefs is not evidence. Your opinions expressed as facts are not evidence.
