RE: Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?

@ Waston, your story example.
1. Why do you insist this is not a scientific matter?
2. Why do you consider a coincidence to be a 'feeble counter point'? Can't a coincidence simply be the more probable alternative?
3. Even if this really did not just simply happen but mean something "special" or, miraculous, or supernatural or whatever - what's it got to do with God, and how is it evidence of God in any way? God as in, a supernatural creator of the universe, a deity? (assuming that's how you define him, so, a further note: How are you defining God?).
There's a Sherlock Holmes quote, to paraphrase 'once you've eliminated the impossible then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth' - the problem with that kind of thinking of course - in my mind at least - is that it's very probably completely impossible to eliminate the impossible! Since you like Sherlock Holmes I just felt like bringing that up
