I should have said that the evidence I have for the existence of gods can't be tested and much of it is too personal to be shared with just anyone.
The difference between my reasons and yours, of course, are that mine are out there, for anyone to put to any test, at any time. And if my cherished beliefs fail a test, I have no choice but to re-think my beliefs.
I have yet to see any compelling evidence for the nonexistence of god(s), nor have I seen anything approaching scientific proof that they exist- merely enough subjective and anecdotal evidence to indicate that there is more to the universe than can be explored through the scientific method.
A lot of antitheists mistake absence of proof for proof of absence.
Oh, and I like the oscillating universe idea too- pity the evidence supports a different model.
