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

"How do you know that God isn't made up of interrelated parts?" is how I would respond to that. The problem I see with your argument is that you are interpreting God singularly (which is fine) but then interpreting the universe as the sum of its parts. Such is an invalid comparison.

It would be like saying the computer monitor as a single entity isn't complex (all it does is display images!), and then say that an circuit board is so intrinsically complex, with so many tiny connections, the microchips doing all the processing, etc, etc. Of course, this argument forgets that there are lots of circuit boards inside the monitor.

So the problems with suggesting God isn't complex is two-fold. One, you are making a dodgy comparison, and two, you have no way of knowing what God is made of, what constitutes "God" as a being, and as such cannot make a clear comparison whatever the other entity is.

As for not seeing the logical step as to why God is not the less complex answer, I'll admit it is a hard one. Our minds want there to be a cause to everything, and God fulfills that cause so easily. Of course, when we ask for the cause of God, we have a neat answer "he has no cause; he's eternal". But now consider our original proposal, that the universe has a cause. If we have come up with the cause as "God" to sort out this problem, only to then say that God has no cause, surely the simpler solution is to take out the supposed being "God" from the equation and say that the universe itself had no cause? We know the universe exists; we do not know that God exists. Thus to suppose God and yet not subject that supposition to the same rules we have for evaluating the existence of the universe is faulty logic. If God can be eternal, why can't the universe?

As for the comparison: Do you, as a self-asware entity, consider yourself your parts or the sum of those parts? Probably the latter, "I am me". If god exists, and is self-aware, and on top of that incorporeal, why could you even suppose he has any parts, or sees himself any different. That's why I consider God to be one entity. Because of science we understand some of the laws, axioms and rules of the universe (or suppose them with great support) and compartmentalize that knowledge. I can't help but see it as it's parts. I though research was done that chows the universe started with the big bang and had an end in entropy, so I can't call it eternal either btw.

The logical step problem is a little dificult. I didn't bring up the God of the Gaps, or who created God arguements. I don't suppose God didn't have a creator, idk if he did or not, or whether he even needed to. God could be an interdimensional, super advanced and incorporeal alien that had a mommy and daddy alien, idk. From our perspective within this universe though, what could have created the universe or disrupted the quantum singularity or even made the singularity should be as far as we could go. To regress into the circular arguement of who created God is irrelevant, faulty and your point, not mine. I didn't even allude that God is eternal, just that he existed outside of space-time prior to the bigbang.
