I'll entertain your embittered derailment for at least a few posts. Obviously criteria are important. Let's take one: effect.
Cats produce effects. Hair, dander, furballs, waste, dead mice, kittens, etc. If I find all those things I can reason to the existence of a cat.
God produces effects--let's just focus on the more obvious effects. Religion, high percentages of religious persons (belief), charitable works and foundations, holy books, sacred places, monks, zealots, etc.
The birds-eye view displays God's existence rather obviously. If an atheist born in a vacuum were to take a guess at what the world looks like, he would be wildly mistaken. And if he takes a look at the real world and wants to retain his atheism, he will need a stack of explanations and accounts more complicated than the fibs propelling Pinocchio's nose! Occam's Razor is a sure remedy, but side effects may include loss of cynicism and superiority, as well as difficulty in breathing until the nose heals.
