                            2. Plenty of evidence that world has been designed- laws of science, DNA
                            3. Causation
                              1. Everything in the universe has a cause
                                1. Mathematical ideas of infinity mean there doesnt have to be a beginning
                                  1. Surely God would need a cause?
                                    1. Something might not need to have a cause
                                    2. First cause of universe must be omnipotent
                                      1. First cause of universe must be God

                                            1. Only God could have made sure that world was made as beautiful as it is
                                              1. Scientific theories are only ideas, they have not been proven
                                                1. Scientific explanations are wrong, biblical one is correct
                                              2. Unanswered Prayers

                                                      1. God would respond to prayers of people that believed in him
                                                      2. Christian Responses
                                                        1. Answer prayers just not in the way expected

                                                                  1. God does know that evil occurs, doesn't have power or doesn't want to stop, meaning God doesn't exist.
                                                                    1. Christian Responses

                                                                          1. People never know what Gods reasons are for allowing evil. Humans aren't as all-knowing and perfect as God
                                                                        2. Programmes affecting belief in God
