If God or gods, works in mysterious ways, how can the existence of gods or God be established beyond a reasonable doubt, LOGICALLY?
Yes, the cosmological claims to prove that the universe was caused, BUT it cannot prove what that cause was or is...

Since the cosmos is intelligible, the Prime Cause has to be intelligent.
Since the cosmos is benevolent, the Prime Cause has to be benevolent.
Since the cosmos does not accept errors, the Prime Cause has to be capable and willing to judge between acceptable and unacceptable.
Since the cosmos operates based on rules (laws), the Prime Cause must be the Ruler (Law Giver).
Since there are laws, we are bound to obey the laws, or pay the penalty of breaking those laws.
My, that sounds a lot like
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

Yes.
Logic is a product of the human mind. The mind has its own limitations. How then can one with limited mental capacity prove something as limitless in power as God? Perhaps we can begin to.
Look for evidence outside of your limited self. Check out the logical arguments given by Ravi Zacharias. If you are really interested.

if His existence is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's no room for faith. faith is the only thing that can save a person (in Christian dogma), so to remove all shadows of a doubt would essentially force us to believe. if it's just common knowledge, then how can such faith save a person? it would have nothing to oppose it, no doubts whatsoever to test it and see if we're loyal to the belief. since faith is a moral, rather than an intellectual issue, no amount of evidences will ever turn unbelief into faith.

Yes, for them to be credible there needs to be OVERTURNABLE evidence that they aren't extraordinary.
Einstein knew the theory of relativity to be true long before he could provide evidence. But: 1. He didnt have the technology to demonstrate it & 2. He had everyone else in the field of science check, and double check, and double check his work, including his wife.
