I would most likely build a cumulative case. I would start with an argument for mind-body dualism to show mind without matter isn't a crazy idea, move to the contingency version of the cosmological argument, and finish off my case with the fine-tuning argument to give support to the "First Cause" being a mind. This aims to defend generic theism because Christian theism is an internally inconsistent mess; that is, I would have to come up with so many far fetched just-so stories to explain away contradictions in the Bible on soteriology alone.
