What is your favorite argument for God's existence and why?
So my favorite argument for God's existence is that I believe in free will. Okay. The reason that I think this is an argument for God's existence is because if you believe that human beings are essentially just balls of meat wandering around aimlessly in the universe, the kind of Spinoza stone that thinks that it was moving of its own accord but actually was thrown.
If you believe that and you don't believe in free will, then there's an internal coherence and logic to it. If you believe that you have the ability to make independent choices, that you can actually supersede your own biologic, your own biological drives and the environment around you to any extent, even to the smallest extent.
This means that you believe in something that can't actually be proved by science, but that you are living every single day. And the notion that you have that will, and not only that you have that will, but that that will is capable of comprehending the universe around you. That your will is sort of your ideas, your ability to comprehend the universe is a reflection of a reality, of an objective truth that is out there. That says to me that there is a God. That there's a common source that stands behind that objective truth and stands behind the mind that can comprehend that truth.
