There is evidence that God exists. For me, that evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt so I believe God exists. Others disagree so they do not believe a god of any kind exists. To prove something to be undeniable is very difficult if not impossible. Proving something beyond a shadow of a doubt is a bit easier but is still difficult. Proving anything relies upon a set of assumptions. If there are objections to any of those assumptions by someone you wish to prove something to, that person will not be convinced you have proven your case.

Yes, but it is unnecessary since everyone knows God exists.

Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. (19) For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. (20) For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

God's word says God exists, therefore, God exists.

What if Paul is wrong?

Is there proof God exist?
Yes, indeed! :)

Cause and effect evidence:

1. Martyrs -- see Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
2. Churches and other edifices, including Christian schools.
3. Iconography & statuary, including symbols, drawings, and artwork.
4. The Bible and other books written about our LORD, including tracts.
5. Songs, hymns and carols venerating Jesus Christ.
6. Holidays such as Christmas and Easter.
7. Debates, programs, cartoons, and specials on TV.
8. Time divided into BC/AD.
9. Mottos such as IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE NATION UNDER GOD, and ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, and ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR.
10. Resistance by unbelievers who invest time and money to eradicate God from public view, including changing greetings such as MERRY CHRISTMAS to: HAPPY HOLIDAYS and SEASONS GREETINGS.

Paganism has all of these things, too, so therefore, Paganism is true by your logic.

How do you know that?
Jesus personally called and chose him when He met Paul on the Damascus Road, and again when the Holy Spirit set him and Barnabas apart for the ministry He has called him to. Without Paul's teaching, there wouldn't be a Christianity at all.

Exodus 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
