How in the hell did you just pop into existence from absolutely nothing? It is silly to think that there isn't some absolutely, insanely, incredible power that is completely beyond our comprehension that made this miracle happen. In the above scenario, you popped into existence just now, completely conscious and aware, out of the void. The switch was off and now it's been turned on. In such a case it would be absolutely certain that something with incredible power made that happen. But this is exactly what happens every day when people are born! It happens when the first moment consciousness arises in the fetus, out of complete nothingness comes an entity of awareness.
As a child and adolescent life doesn't seem very special. It's all very normal and routine: wake up, brush your teeth, shower, dress, etc. It's not until you realize that life is not at all normal that it will become obvious to you that God does in fact exist. When you wake up tomorrow morning, I want you to imagine it is your first morning waking up, the very first day of your life. If you can picture that, you may begin to have a new appreciation for your consciousness and begin to see the incredible, infinite power sustaining said consciousness.

Do you understand the Big Bang Theory? It actually works with the faith that the universe had no actual creation. The universe is quite quickly expanding, due to inertia from the Big Bang. That's reasonable. However, gravity draws things together, right? If gravity eventually overpowered the force of inertia, then it makes sense that the Big Bang would repeat itself, everything collapsing in a giant heartbeat.
SOPHIE'S WORLD!
Anyway... evolution is a reasonable theory that life originated when electricity flowed through a/the pool of ylem, and then it progressed as a complex chemical reaction.
Also, there's no proof that we actually do have souls, it's more of an opinion. Therefore there's no actual proof God exists, it's just a 'which story do you go with?' Santa or parents?
It's also impossible to disprove a God, because it would be able to hide itself from us if it so desired. Therefore, it's not reasonable to search for proof.
