I have a difficult time understanding how exactly this proves God's existence. The logic seems a bit circular to me, since your argument assumes that God did indeed create butterflies and eagles, but you don't prove that this is true. Consider this statements;
"If butterflies and eagles could talk, they would shout 'Biological evolution creates us you idiot!', but unfortunately they cannot (they have no vocal chords)."
Do you consider that to be a valid argument that butterflies and eagles were created as a result of evolution? I certainly do not.
Also, why is truth illusive without faith? It would seem to me that faith is a poor method of discovering what is true and what is untrue, since faith does not require beliefs to be supported by objective and logical reasoning. You can have faith in anything- regardless of whether it is true or not.
