How do we know God exists?

Let’s be honest. There is no physical evidence on planet earth that you can pick up and hold and claim that it is made by God and every single person would believe you. To do so would be like taking the a painting and claiming it was painted by the original artist: studying the creation to prove the creator. Now let me skip that and go to point one.
Point 1: Morality
As humans, most people would say there is a right and wrong, we know murdering to be wrong, stealing to be wrong, among other things that we feel uneasy about. Now, imagine that there is no God and we all evolved from apes or what not. This question pops up: Where did we get our sense of right or wrong? Why don’t humans have the same survival instinct as other animals? The problem is this. If you think about it, instincts and moral issues and consciences are opposites. We would find it absurd to see a Tiger brining back a baby of another species it was about to have for supper because it felt guilty or humans eating their own best friend to survive without having any guilt or second thoughts. Instincts focus on the self, morality and consciences focus on the wellbeing of others or what ought to be done. If the world was created by purely chemicals, there would be no “aught” or “should”, but it would be an “anything goes world” and “do what’s best for yourself” kind of place. Fortunately that is not the case, it would be chaotic! Most people know what’s right and wrong, and that requires someone to define it, which is God.

Point 2: 0+0=1? / F(0) = pi F = ?
Math: it is absolute and no one argues with it. 3rd and 4th graders learn this and do not argue with it because it is truth; we all know 1+1 to be 2. First to prove my second point is this. The earth and the universe is something, so we will call something true, or in binary terms, equal to one. Nothing, as we know in math, is 0. In saying that the universe came from nothing is like saying that 1 was derived from 0. There is no arguing that something comes from something and nothing comes from nothing, it is common sense. However, if we were to add something to nothing, it would be something. Assuming that god is something “1”, we could mathematically conclude that nothingness “0” plus God “1” = the world, another something “1”, so 0+1 = 1. To further prove my point, the Universe is a LOT more complex than one. Ask any scientists that studies such things and they would agree, I believe even that if the earth was a bit closer or further from the sun we could not even survive. Mathematically, lets make the universe equal to PI, the number that is still trying to be fully defined by mathematicians, just as scientists are still trying to fully understand the universe. To say that the universe came from nothing, is like saying there is a function that exists that zero can equal Pi exactly without adding a number (or something), for if you just add the number itself, it does not explain how it got from zero to itself, it only makes it so. So then we need to come to a conclusion that something and nothing had to be in place, and that something had to know what he was doing, just like a mathematician calculating Pi.
