Jesus Christ

Wikipedia, my absolute favorite source of potentially factual information, lists these as the possible arguments as to the existence of God:

- The cosmological argument argues that there was a "first cause", or "prime mover" who is identified as God.

- The teleological argument argues that the universe's order and complexity are best explained by reference to a creator god.

- The ontological argument is based on arguments about a "being greater than which can not be conceived". Alvin Plantinga formulates this argument to show that if it is logically possible for God (a necessary being) to exist, then God exists.

- The mind-body problem argument suggests that the relation of consciousness to materiality is best understood in terms of the existence of God.

- Arguments that some non-physical quality observed in the universe is of fundamental importance and not an epiphenomenon, such as justice, beauty, love or religious experience are arguments for theism as against materialism.

- The anthropic argument suggests that basic facts, such as our existence, are best explained by the existence of God.

- The moral argument argues that the existence of objective morality depends on the existence of God.

- The transcendental argument suggests that logic, science, ethics, and other things we take seriously do not make sense in the absence of God, and that atheistic arguments must ultimately refute themselves if pressed with rigorous consistency.

- The will to believe doctrine was pragmatist philosopher William James' attempt to prove God by showing that the adoption of theism as a hypothesis "works" in a believer's life. This doctrine depended heavily on James' pragmatic theory of truth where beliefs are proven by how they work when adopted rather than by proofs before they are believed (a form of the hypothetico-deductive method).

- Arguments based on claims of miracles wrought by God associated with specific historical events or personages.

After your brain wraps around the big words and sorts out the clutter, the fundamental spine of every argument is that there God because it's easier to believe in divine power than to try to explain the unexplainable. Yeah. *ack*

Anyway, I myself can't ascribe to any of the aforementioned schools of thought, but rather have come to the conclusion that there may in fact be some cosmic plan because of the simple and obviously divine existence of the Whiskipedia.
