However even then they are questionable since they are based on medieval metaphysics based ancient Greek metaphysics which are based on ancient Greek folk physics.
The cosmological argument, ontological argument, teleological argument, TAG all make the perpetrator of them sound real deep an intellectual, yet they are all flawed. Not one of them are both valid and sound. And no amount of pointing out the fallacies will do anything to dissuade believers from using them.
On top of that, they are intellectually dishonest arguments.
The ontological argument is just Christians trying to define god into exist. God is by definition the greatest being, which is by definition a being with all the great making properties: Omi-this, omi-that, is the Christian God, and exists. So you see! God exists by definition! *Snuffs glue.*
Teleological arguments just beg the question and are a joke.
