Yes, I did.

I'll take a look at it. But again, it's a theoretical and logical impossibility for there to be empirical proof of God. Empirical proof or "evidence" is only relevant to things that are observable. By definition, an "intelligent designer of reality" has non-observable components. Therefore, you can't prove God with evidence. The best you can do is a logical proof, and then find suggestive or corollary evidence to support it after the fact.

To make an analogy, when you have a thought you are exposed to the non-observable content and meaning of that thought. Others around you might be able to do an empirical neurological analysis of your brain at the time you're having a thought, and certain types of electrical and neuronal activity will suggest that you are indeed having a thought. As a result, they can find suggestive, corollary evidence that you are having a thought, but they wouldn't be able to make this suggestion if you didn't know your thought existed in the first place so as to be able to link brain activity to it.
