The strongest argument for theism is to define "God" to be something that already exists. Then everyone is a theist. Since "God" means nothing in the first place, you're quite at liberty to do that.

What does that achieve? Nothing. But then theology on the whole achieves nothing either. It's just a complete waste of time, trying to talk things into existence.

"There is no house popping out of nothing or as a result of an explosion, how does it count for the universe?"
"You can't see Bluetooth or the air too, so how is not seeing god an argument?"
"There is scientific knowledge recorded in the Quran which agrees with all the modern discoveries made about the universe"


Strong theistic arguments? There are none.
