In other words, you have no evidence. That's irrational.
I have had sufficient evidence to convince me that God exists. However, since you were not present on any of the occasions when I received that evidence, all I could do at this point is to tell you about it, which would be hearsay at best, and you would have no way of knowing that I was not deliberately lying by making all of it up. Had I not experienced what I have experienced firsthand, I probably would not believe it had happened if someone had simply told me about it, so I suspect that you would also find it incredible. That's why I said "The proof is left as an exercise for the reader." The only evidence that will convince you will be that evidence you obtain yourself.
But you presented no empirical evidence in the form of a repeatable experiment that anyone can do.

(BTW, the part about God's voice mail was a wisecrack. ;-) )
Can you provide empirical evidence
No, as I said above, _I_ cannot provide it.
and a repeatable experiment that I can perform to verify your assertion?
I expect you already know what the experiment is, and how to carry it out to get the answer. If not, I can tell you where to find the instructions. However, following them is up to you.
Once you have the correct answer to the first question on your original list, you will be able to find the correct answers to all of the other questions on your list on your own.
