You need a bridging principle to get from "It looks designed," to "therefore it is designed," and I've yet to see anyone provide that bridge.
Weakest argument is the argument from personal experience. Having an unusual perception is not indicative of anything more than that human nature has quirks. "I know He exists because I've felt Him," belongs in the DSM-V, not a believer's justification.
I anticipate Chad will want to ask you what you think are the weakest arguments for and against disbelief in gods too. I'd also be interested in your appraisal. At first my response was "what positive claims?" But then I decided I can at least address my reasons for not finding god belief worthy of serious consideration since I don't. Also, I'd be interested to hear which if any arguments in favor of strong atheism you find weak.
