- The Argument from The Spiritual Spark & Good Operating Dimension
- The Argument from Reason (or the Laws of Logic): I would include within this argument the Argument from Math. Even non-Christian philosophers of mathematics are divided on whether or not math is "Platonic" (existing outside the mimd) or is mere invented descriptive concepts from human minds
- The Argument from the Soul or Free Will: Note that even non-Christian philosophers tend to be compatibalists and not full on determinists; which means even many nontheistic philosophers believe in a quasi-metaphical concept of free will as if we were souls and not mere genitically predetermined bio-organisms
- Free Will (+) Platonic Numbers (+) Nash Equilibrium: So if you combine the argument from logic or maths with the free will argument, you can see that even atheistic or non-theistic thinkers are not united in a strict materialism / physicalism, but make room for a platonic or metaphysical realm to ground these concepts of Free Will and Logic or Math. When you then combine the argument from math and the argument for free will with the Nash Equilibrium, then you have an objective argument for morality or ethics: from both math and free will giving us the thinking individual. Then when applying the Nash Equilibrium you have demonstrated a plausible logical equation for societal cooperation supportimg the religiois moral order through logic and mathematical patterns emanating from a metaphysical/Platonic realm
- The Argument from Symetryical Beauty & Design in the Universe
- The Argument from Rights: The concepts of "inalianable Rights," as expressed in the US Declaration of Independence, only make sense based on the premise of a Creator endowing us with such Rights. For Rights are not objective realities we can quantify in the laboratory or prove objectively, but are assertions grounded in metaphysical concepts.
- The Argument from Christianity Causing a Moral Shift in Consciousness in History: Even skeptical historians like atheist Bart Ehrman admits that something unique and strange occured with the first Christians which led to a radical shift in their moral consciousness after their encounter with the historical Jesus and experiencing real visions they believed were appearances of the resurrected Christ. Most scholars, both atheist and believers, now acknowledge that Christianity did in fact radically change the moral consciousness of society and culture for thousands of years. This has been demonstrated historically in the book Dominion by Tom Holland, and in the writings of Fredrich Nietzsche.
- The Argument from Psychologically Soothing Stability:
I have come to view God as psychologically grounding which I've sought to capture below in poetic form:
God is the reason why there is some-thing rather than no-thing, i.e. why there is matter and energy, growth, and the laws of physics rather than only oblivion or pure nothingness
God is that which originated the Big Bang and the laws of physics
God is simply another word for energy that can neither be created nor destroyed
God is like the sound of your mother's heartbeat in the womb as we swim within the sustaining realm of ultimate existence
God is the universal Mind whispering wisdom within patterns and multiplying forms of energy and fostering the mathmatics of group solidarity
God is that which expands and grows to Nonzero (based on the book Nonzero by Robert Wright)
God is like the feeling of gravity holding us to the earth as a symbolic anchor grounding our ethics and values with meaning and purpose
God is the image of the universal Father figure as mature householder offering masculine energy and tribal cohesion
God is the Source of all the allurement and expansion in our universe that we see all around us: from revolving planets to romantic love and sexual reproduction to grass growing and birds chirping
God is love
God is Life personified
God is the spacious Consciousness between Chaos and Order
God is the Transcendent between the pairs of opposites
God is the Eternal Now
God is that phenomenon of existence that when you stop believing in it doesn't go away
