The fact that I, one person without a scientific background and of limited intellect, can not name anything that's sourceless is your proof that there's a God?
Well okay then.
Solid reasoning.
Yes.

How do you explain those who feel different? Why do some (most?) have no problem seeing and knowing a creator?
Because of wishful thinking, extreme continuous cultural envelopment in the idea since birth, and terror of death. Add natural human imagination and there you have it.

Are you saying most people are just dumb? Perhaps if our imagination is natural, the idea of a creator is not so dumb after all.

Usually, I am inclined to let people who feel a certain way speak for themselves.
However, based on my experiences, I think that a lot of people have a psychological need to believe in a creator. Centuries of religious tradition and authority have reinforced this belief in society. People don't realize that their imaginations and wishes deceive them about reality.
It doesn't sit well with people to realize that there is no savior, no heaven, no afterlife.
Plus, many people have simply not looked into the scientific evidence which calls into question many of the things which have long been attributed to a creator.

This is typical of atheists.
