Okay.Just for clarity, my profile says 'Agnostic'. In actuality, I'm an epistemological solipsist. Which means that I will accede to anything that makes logical sense, and hold in question anything that doesn't.
So if you can get your concept of God to make logical sense, then I'll wholeheartedly accept it, if you can't, then I'm perplexed as to why you think that I should.
Well, what I generally point to is the fact that if you see a building, you assume it must have a builder(s) and an architect.
The same applies to creation, which is more complex, in just one part, than any building.
But then someone will argue for Polytheism. But the universe works in way to much of a perfect rhythm to be created by multiple powers. Just as no fine piece of machinery is created by two inventors who are rivals.
This moves us to the question: which single God created the universe? There can be but one.
Well, firstly, for this being to exist, he must be perfectly self sufficient, or else he cannot exist as the supreme being because he relies on something outside Himself.
That rules out Allah, though they say He is self sufficient, they also say He is loving in his very essence. But he is not trinity, and thus must love something outside Himself, or not at all.
We can't have Polytheism, we can't have non-trinitarian mono-theism. That leaves only the God of the Bible.
