The reason why people believe that God exists is because it is just intuitive knowledge. Just looking at the creation, flowers, trees, rocks, waterfalls, etc. It's not logic, science, philosophy, anything like that. It's just child-like intuition. This is why there are so many religions in the world which believe in a creator although only Christianity is the true religion.

Because we are basing God's existence on this child-like intuition alone, the other side no longer has an argument. The only thing they can do is throw insults, ad hominems, and things of that nature because they hate the fact that people could just believe in God for that reason. Especially if even millions and millions of people do. They hate that so much that they become red in the face from anger.

People should realize that they can still have their pride and their intellect while at the same time lowering themselves at the level of a child on this particular issue. It doesn't take much to realize God exists. It doesn't require a philosophical debate, a scientific debate, any debate like that. Just admitting the obvious and humbling yourself down a little bit.

I believe God is truth. Hence, he exists and is unique. Existence of God is only a question of definition.

I don't think this is an universal intuition, though. It would be a mistake to simply assume it to be so. For example, I didn't have it, my childhood attempts at philosophizing went a different direction.

And also, your argument seems to presume that a child possesses a self-contained mental universe isolated from his environment (hence the value of this child-like intuition) but I don't think this is true. Children are deeply affected by the world around them and you can draw a fair picture of the world the child inhabits from what his imagination produces.

I also doubt children from non-monotheistic cultures display the same intuition toward a singular creator god.
