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

[Tiberius]

Ok I'll let someone else ponder that acrobatic brain jui-jutsu.

As far as your contention, what if we seperate teh universe in to the known universe and the universe itself as a definition. Could we then extrapolate th properties of the universe with high probability by reasoning within the framework of our known universe and the laws we observe?

You misunderstand me.

We can extrapolate the laws of the universe internally. However, the universe is a closed system, so there is no way of knowing what is "outside", or to put it another way, what environment the universe itself is in, and what laws rule over the environment.

Thus I held that your assertion that we could put a conclusion of "highly unlikely" on the universe coming into existence without a cause was unfounded. The laws that govern the internal mechanisms of a closed system do not have to be the same as those that govern the external mechanisms.
