Quote:Atheists, what do you believe is the best argument for the existence of a deity? And why do you believe it is still insufficient for belief in a deity?

Can't think of any. Never encountered a good theist argument. Any explanation lacking explanatory power is of no value and so not worth anything other than an all out rejection.
Besides, an explanation that bares many baseless assertions and is unnecessarily complex would be completely against Occam's Razer. And I stand strongly with Occam's Razer. Big Grin

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
