Science says that the universe had a beginning. Philosophy says that any beginning has to have a pre-existing cause. Since there was no space, time, or matter before the beginning of the universe, the cause had to be outside of all three. We choose to call that cause God.
That is the proof of the existence of God. Only that, not anything else about God.
But the answer of “we don’t really know” to me is a much more honest answer.
Call it God if you want, but that it doesn’t tell us anything about “god”.
Still begs the question, what created “god”. It’s an unanswerable question. Everything needs a beginning except for something we say doesn’t because again “magic” of some sort. I can come up with a different theory about how the universe expands and contracts and upon contracting that resets the universe and it’s been doing this “forever”. It doesn’t mean that this is at all true or accurate and that’s why I like the answer of “we don’t know”.

It's confirmation bias and religion is full of it. They can't explain something so it must be their deity is an argument of convenience.
