You cannot use a generic argument such as the cosmological argument or the teleological argument unless you use it in such a way that specifically proves the existence of the Christian God.
Have fun.
This is a very heartening post for Christians to read. It gives great optimism because the first hurdle of universal atheism versus generic theism has been passed and the matter now becomes....
OK. Suppose I grant the logically plausible/possible existence of some form of divinity, convince me that biblical monotheism is the correct (true) recognition of such and Christianity in particular.
A loving all-powerful monotheistic, capital "G" God is the easiest, most logical, most demonstrably true, most widely-perceived theistic manifestation to justify from a theological standpoint (IMHO)
