I just read some of the latter posts here and enjoyed the thought stimulus.
The tools we need to make discoveries are all around us. 1. we must search for them. 2. we must make correct use of them.
Even drugs and alcohol have a correct use, but can be abused. You would not use a dishwasher to bbq steaks, nor would you use a chainsaw to hammer a nail. You wouldn't wear a pair of boxing gloves to do anything but box.
If you want to know of the reality of a Creator, search until you find the correct tools for finding out, and then use them correctly. Your answer will come spiritually because the tools you use will be spiritual.
Communication is an important spiritual tool. What are spiritual ways of communicating with the divine? Try talking to Him as though He exists, speak to him as you would to a Father. Read scripture personally, like as if God is speaking it directly to you. "What I say to one I say to all" is one scripture that comes to mind. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/mark/13/37#37
