Nathan Ketsdever, lifelong theological questioner #fundie quora.com

Here are five reason why God won't go away:

God fingerprints are everywhere on creation.
The historical case for Jesus is actually quite good.
A world without a Creator doesn't make rational sense as worldview--its a dead end of a philosophy. Its relativistic, which would destroy dignity, rationality, freedom, rights, excellence, courage, love and everything we value as humans. Theism makes much more sense than that.
Theism is the wise choice. Theism is rule utiltarianism to atheism's act-utilitarianism. Sometimes it makes more sense to do whats best in the long term--the wise choice. Ethics and integrity are the wise choice. Or did you forget about the crash of 2008 brought on by selfishness and ethical relativism?
Atheist arguments are far more pomp and circumstance than they may look like on paper. Also, people's faiths in Christianity are far more developed and complex than the straw-person characterizations you read in new atheist books or from the atheist echochamber online.

Given all of the above now.

I've also written multiple times how:

scientism
determinism
reductivism
and the other ideologies associated with physicalist science

Go check out critiques of Hume's Argument against Miracles, which undermine the very basis of the naturalistic worldview. The 1800's called...they want their hidden assumptions back. Without Hume’s critique of Miracles.....the atheist worldview crumbles into the shadows of theism.

Also, the Scandinavian arguments are all based on one academic's analysis which doesn't fully take into account their actual religion.
