Attack of the Theocrats!
Comment 46 by Less Entropy
On the face of it, this is a pretty terrible argument. It appears to be:
P1 Anything that has paid near ever present service to humans exists
P2 God has paid near ever present service to humans
C Therefore, God exists
Well, obviously this is a valid argument, but it's not sound; neither premise appears to be grounded in fact, so I doubt it would convince any but the most credulous. One of the premises appears to suggest that god isn't ever-present! Of course, this may be misrepresenting your argument, so please feel free to present more plausible premises and conclusion.
