You (wisely) abandoned your request for a proof and moved to a rewording, asking for evidence. It is sort of the same thing.

Because "evidence" depends on interpretation. And if I an you don't agree on an interpretation (as apparently we don't), there is no way that we can bridge our difference. 

We need to go deeper. And deeper means beyond logic, to feelings.

For example. A universe without a telos is a cruel joke. For me, this is evidence for God's existence, because I can't see life as a "cruel joke". It is not reason that informs my interpretation but feelings. The same with you. You accept the empty random universe because you want to see life as a "cruel joke". Similarly, there are feelings behind your interpretation and not reason.

To me, it all stems from looking for happiness. To you, all stems from looking for despair.

And why do I crave for happiness? Because it is the natural thing to do. Why do you crave for despair? Because it is the coward's way out. You see, happiness you can win or you can lose. But despair is abandoning the game from the get go. It is easy, lazy, "safe". If only you could convince yourself that happiness doesn't matter....
