RE: Attention Theists! Present your best argument for the existence of God!

It's probably best to cease arguing with Dotard about this whole thing right now, as he's made it quite clear he's only looking to pick a fight about a hot button issue because he gets his jollies or something. It'll sidetrack this topic more to indulge this.
As for my best arguments for God? Well, I first agree with fr0do that God cannot be known. Not within our conventional, concrete standard of knowing at least.
Other than that I insist that you look around and observe the way in which things work a little more. It's funny because you atheists like to talk about how the world works quite a lot and use that somehow as counter-evidence for why God can't or doesn't exist. Coincidence, science, materialism or what-have-you...but you don't seem to talk about the fact that it all works. By that I mean that this world, this universe, works in an efficient and timely way as to be in complete working order. All the conditions were right for a universe to be born and exist.
Not only that, all the conditions, the infintesimally small factors, were in place from the very beginning moment leading up to this one for a planet such as ours to spawn life. And then for that life to become us...the odds are literally beyond impossible. So then it becomes a question of, 'to what end?' And so going beyond that, it becomes a question of whether or not the 'end' to which the universe leads is ingrained within it from the very beginning...as in, all moments leading up to the universe's 'end' were there from the 'beginning.'
Full circle.
