If you think it's true, how can you prove it? I could say, with just as much justification, "If the universe couldn't exist uncreated then you wouldn't be here, and since you are here, the universe must be uncreated".

As previously pointed out, these are just statements, without logical backup. 'If God didn't exist you wouldn't be here' is a premise, and in order for any truth to be derived *from* it, you first need to establish the truth *of* it.
Which is going to be damned hard. Huge research efforts and literal tons of data have established both a mechanism and a strong likelihood that God doesn't need to be adduced in order for you to 'be here'. They're the Holy Trinity: the origin of the universe; the origin of life; and the origin of species.
The last is established beyond a molecule of rational doubt, the Discovery Institute notwithstanding. The other two need their details ironing out, but they establish parsimonious explanations that need no supernatural entities. *Proof* of non-existence is logically impossible, but as likelihood of existence falls below a threshold, proof becomes unnecessary.

As much as I would like to believe my existence proves God's, this is simply not the case.
God reveals himself through revelation as documented in the bible. God is spirit. God existed before He created everything that we can observed. Simply put God is in the observable and the unobservable.
Science has a method (the scientific method) where theories explains facts (observations by people independent of location). To prove God exists, you must have "God facts", facts that observe the unobservable. There are no God facts which means that science has no theory that prove God's existence or non existence.
What about the revelation, the bible? Unfortunately, there is no proof. God existence is assumed, and man is created by God.
Some say man created God. Again science has no answer to this conjecture, and the bible states the opposite.
Answer: Logical Positivism (a branch of philosophy) sees the nature of God and its ramifications as meaningless conjectures since Science has no proof for them. I simply prefer what God revealed.

God does exist. I'll try my level best to prove his existence to you. For instance u make something, like a doll house then u know that u made it and that it wasn't already there. This entire universe, the oceans, the land, the rivers and the sky have been created by somebody . It can't be possible that they were already there, Somebody is controlling everything, There is somebody who decided to make this universe and then created those who would live on it. Our existence can only be explained by the fact that someone brought all this about. For instance u work in a firm, your boss there made the firm and then selected the employees. The boss orders u to do work and u have to do it. If it wasn't for the boss then there would be no firm and neither would u be the employees. Who created the first human and if u say that humans were made on their own then how do you explain it. Everything is preplanned we are born and then we die. If there is no God then how is all of this happening. We are born and we die of our own accord, this sounds silly and illogical.

If She didn't exist - you wouldn't be here either. Were you born of a woman, or man? The man just provides a gentic strip of D.N.A., the woman does all the hard stuff. True or False?

I could say the easter bunny made us, if the easter bunny didn't exist neither would us. The easter bunny must exist!
This doesn't prove the easter bunny or god, it proves whoever uses these baseless claims shares the intelligence of a house brick.

God is one of the things that science itsself cannot approve of it.
It's like love, science cannot prove it exists or how it works.
People that had close encounters with God, and supernatural things involving God and they choose to believe it, believe it. It's not something you cannot prove to other people. They have to experience it themselves. It's their choice to believe that you had experienced God in some way.

False. It is an axiom with no testable necessary consequences.
------------
Correction, and it took me a good thirty minutes to realize this --- Neither true nor false. Since it is an axiom with no testable necessary consequences, it falls into the "not even true or false" category.

False
The unexplained is not evidence. A fair answer would be "I dont know how we got here". Anything else are nothing but assumptions and wild guesses
