The arguments that I feel have the most validity in reference to the case for God. Of course, to actually know God and to know of God, one must open their heart to God. True faith begins in the heart. This is just a jumping off point for intellectuals, and pseudo-intellectuals, like me.
- An innumerable amount of people lay claim to an innumerable amount of supernatural experiences, believing in their legitimacy so much as to die (physically, socially, spiritually, etc) rather than deny them, e.g., Countless martyrs in in the Roman Empire before Constantine, Countless freedom fighters in the Jewish revolts, countless Sadhus dying to the world, etc. (Experiential)
- The universe is ordered in such a way as to allow for the existence of life, as well as allowing us to observe the complexity and fragility of that universe. (Teleological)
- There is a strong yearning present in individuals that cannot be met with anything other than God. (Mystical)
- (My understanding of quantum physics is limited, so correct me if I'm wrong) Since matter cannot be created or destroyed, and matter exists, something outside of the laws of physics must have brought it about. (Cosmological)
- Morality plays no part in self-preservation, and could in fact impede it. The existence of this trait points beyond evolution.
