    • The teleological argument: The universe displays such an amazing design; there must be a divine Designer. Isaiah 45:7
    • The aesthetic argument: There's a reason we value things as beautiful. 
  • Bang!                                                                                                                                 
    • The cosmological argument asks: How did life begin in the first place? Psalm 19:1-4a; Luke 19:40
    • You Really Should… (Or Shouldn't)
