8 reasons in support of God's existence

Renown apologist William Lane Craig gives 8 reasons in support of God's existence. I will list all 8 and expand on the first one:

1. God is the best explanation why anything at all exists.

  • Every contingent thing has an explanation of its existence.
  • If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is a transcendent personal being.
  • The universe is a contingent thing.
  • Therefore, the explanation of the universe is a transcendent, personal being-which is what everybody means by "God."
2. God is the the best explanation of the origin of the universe.

3. God is the best explanation of the applicability of mathematics to the physical world.

4. God is the best explanation of the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life.

5. God is the best explanation of intentional states of consciousness.

6. God is the best explanation of objective moral values and duties.

7. The very possibility of God's existence implies that God exists.

8. God can be personally known and experienced.
