What's your best argument for the existence of God?

One pretty persuasive point is the evidence of directed intelligence in the universe.

It seems that when people who believe in a creator points to evidence of directed intelligence, the atheists say that it is chance that brought it about, and they speak of niches that life forms developed on their own and sat themselves in them.

If people don't want to believe that God created things and the complexity and interdependence of life and existence, they will not believe it. But when they say that to not believe what they say is unscientific, there is where their logic breaks down.

In every other situation in science, directed intelligence points to the existence of a source of that intelligence. We see ancient houses and pottery and weapons in archeology, and we know that humans were there. Even animals leave behind evidence of their level of instinctive intelligence, ant hills, and birds' nests, and beavers' dams, and we acknowledge this as evidence of their having been there. But when we see directed intelligence in nature, specifically when things that rely on one another for existence from the atomic level up to complex ecosystems, and others deny that there is intelligence that put that complex puzzle in motion, then it is simply a matter of humans who don't want to acknowledge that someone much greater that they are has set it up.

So the alternative is, no matter what kind of evidence of intelligence people can observe in existence and life, it is more comforting to think that chance, that requires no accountability, is what produced it.

To imagine that someone is that wise, with that level of ability, may be scarey, but it does take a degree of modesty to think that this someone exists who is so very far above us. It is even more awe inspiring to think that this someone brought us into being, and being capable of purposeful action, this someone evidently has a purpose for us.

A: If we live in an infinite Multi-verse instead of just one universe, then in some parallel universe somewhere some life form or whatever became powerful enough to become Omnipotently God-like enough to actually "be" God, and then of course the first thing that God would do would make Himself the God of "all" the other parallel universes, including our own, so even if in our universe God did not at first exist, later some God of another universe would become the God of our's by default. See the logic?

(Hope this helped.)

i'm uncertain if this is a stable argument against the existence of God, a greater suited case would desire to be made for straightforward previous commons experience. yet your counter-argument isn't very persuasive. If imperfection is "friendly" in some varieties, you're caught on the horns of a seize 22 situation on the definition of the be conscious "god", which, as on your case, could would desire to contain misguided layout (for the sake of "elegance"? beginning defects???) and cruelty (enables suffering yet "loves" you).

(Deist)

The laws of the Universe as we understand them do not make it possible to create a Universe. It is literally to the point that even out main scientific cosmogony theory only takes effect after the event started (the big bang doesn't cover where matter came from, eg.). You see, you cannot create matter or energy without spending the opposite. If something had to exist for stuff to exist then where did that all come from?

My belief is that something outside of the laws of nature that we know, something Super-Natural (play on words, I know, sorry) that obeys laws of a different, unknown super-nature (in that they are above our own) created the Universe. Whatever process, entity, or force created this Universe I choose to call God.

Not that it matters, because I believe that now that the Universe is here with its own laws we are in all ways cut off from that universal motive force.

For those who have a bias presupposition concerning God's existence ?

No answer regardless of what it is, would be convincing.

However, for those who are not biased and are open minded and objective.

I believe that there is a God because I feel him working in my life daily. Life here on earth isn't a coincidence. Everyone has a need for something greater, it is in all of us.

Faith. Hope. Other than that...those little odd things that happen in the worst moments. Also, I just feel peace at my church and praying relaxes me deeply.

Hard to explain but I sure am happy :)

The most used argument I've heard is "you can't disprove God", which is an argument from ignorance.

It's the only explanation for existence that makes sense to me.
