There is a God. How do I know? Well the answer is simple-Only a God could have created the universe. How do I know this? Well take a look at this argument:The universe. How did it get here? It couldn't have gotten here on its own. That would be an example of spontaneous generation, a theory disproved a long, long, time ago. It couldn't have always been here. That to, would be impossible according to science. Therefore, the only possible answer would be that something else would have had to have created it. What's the only thing that could do that? Something with ultimate power. What's the only conceivable thing with ultimate power? God.(or many, but that's a discussion for another time.) Well you might be thinking, how did God get here, then? Well, what's the only thing with the ability to create itself? Something with ultimate power. What's the only conceivable thing with ultimate power? God. Therefore, God is 100% real and He must have created the universe.
That is a big claim I just made, and as such it requires scientific accreditadion. So, here you go. William Lane Craig, a scientist uses basic logic to show how a God must have created the universe in his version of the Kalam cosmotologial arguement:
1.Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2.The universe began to exist.
3.Therefore, the universe has a cause.
What is the only thing with the power necessary to create the universe, the ultimate power? A God. So, undoubtabley there is a God and He created the universe.

Extra argument: Scientists say that if they universe were one grain of sand bigger or smaller humans would not be here today. There is almost no possibility that that could be random. What is the only thing with that kind of precision? Something with omnipotence, God. Therefore only a God could have created the universe.
