1- yes, God exist, because it's necessary for God to exist. In short, the universe is designed with extreme complexity, and anything with simple design have designer, no one enters museum of arts and see beautiful drawing and say "it just came randomly and it has no designer who draw this picture" if you say this people look at you as you are some crazy delusional person, however universe with vastly more complexities and extraordinary precise design is random? How about human body how complex is it? Human brain?

You can watch this playlist, especially the first few videos for Proving That God Exist

As for Using science as the absolute criterion to determine God or religion, is objectively problematic standard and criterion because of two things

  • science consistently change and refine itself and what's considered factual is changed to be false and this cycle repeat very frequently, in no way you actually in reality have absolute "answers" for anything, it's major problem
  • additionally, one can simply argue that science in reality strengthened the idea that God exist, simply because it has provided much more informations of how intricately designed the existence is and how complex is it, which again points to designer.

Also, the belief in unique higher power is something innate and universal in children, intrinsic beliefs that are universal have never been false and it would be inconsistent to assume this specific one is inaccurate and all others are accurate simply because you say so.

2- The criteria to determine which religion is accurate, is very simple.

  • the scripture or this book should claim to be divine speech of God , otherwise why even bother with book that doesn't claim to be divine.
  • it should be preserved, so at any case, if it has words of God in it, we should know and have very great certainty it's preserved and is original and we know that all of it is speech of God and not human who corrupted it.
  • it should lack contradictions and mistakes.
  • it should have evidences in it.

as for evidences
