Best arguments for and against god you know of?

Best Argument For God: He is not amenable to logical inquiry, so he probably exists.
Best Argument Against God: He is not amenable to logical inquiry, so he probably doesn't exist. Boru
‘I can’t be having with this.’ - Esmeralda Weatherwax
To me best one against is absence of any signs of god.
I don't really have best argument they all suck but the argument from personal experience seems to be pretty powerful but only from the point of view of person having an experience. I guess brains can misbehave. 
For: "I sez they duz so they duz"
Against: Theistic gods, as defined, cannot possibly exist. Deistic gods, as defined, might as well not exist.
Sum ergo sum
You'll find that most arguments for the existence of Gods could apply to unicorns or magic pixies.

Best argument against would just be that we haven't seen any evidence of gods, spirits, souls, or any plane of existence aside from the physical one. It's like Bill Nye said, all we really need is evidence. Concrete, indisputable, evidence.

It's like Bill Nye said, all we really need is evidence. Concrete, indisputable, evidence. Something that breaks physics or can't be explained by natural processes. Funnily enough, one example might be how creationists accuse evolution of working. If a duck hatched from a crocodile egg, that could prove there was something supernatural going on. Or if we had a guy that did the kinds of things Jesus was claimed to do. Raise someone who has been dead for a week. Walk on water. Grow an amputee's leg back.
