i) is a false premise. You can pray and still have your prayers answered even if god doesn't exist, and you can pray and NOT have your prayers answered and god can still exist, so this is a false premise that god answers prayers all the time, or that god is responsible for all prayers...

Your logic is flawed. This would make more sense:
I exist.
I cannot create my own existence.
Therefore, someone else created my existence for me.
You can trace this back from your parents to your ancestors, you can trace it back to evolution and abiogenesis. Problem solved without a god.
I'm not saying that a god doesn't exist. I'm just saying that we already know where it all came from without filling in a god in the gaps...

We are conscious beings and definitely there must be a supreme consciousness from where all creation emanates, from where all consciousness emanates. |
You might as well say that the wind is proof that god exist...
Because the wind exist there is obviously a supreme wind where all winds emerges from...
Um, no...
