Let's discuss one--Contingency Argument.
1. Anything that exists has an explanation of its existence (either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause).
2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.
3. The universe exists.
4. Therefore the explanation of the existence of the universe is God.
#1 is a fallacy of composition. The rest doesn't matter. To assume universes behave like other things is completely unsupported and unwarranted.
