wow. no. thats pretty ridiculous. a lot of the "reasons" fall under the tail wagging the dog category.
I'm not gonna take the time to go through everyone, but a good example is #2, "The fact that we live on a "just right" planet in a "just right" universe is evidence that it all was created by a loving God." makes zero sense. Because life on Earth was able to adapt to what was presented doesn't mean this is the only condition under which life could flourish never mind verify the existence of a Creator. The range of conditions under which life flourishes on earth are at every extreme making it more likely that life on other planets in conditions much more unforgiving then what you would deem normal is possible.
so thats just one, but read your articles a little harder. something as simple as saying emotional pain proves the existence of a soul really means nothing. there is no actual evidence there to base such an assumption on.

Nope
They are regurgitating the Anthropic principle, which is a classic "cart before the horse" theistic argument. It basically states that because the earth is just the right distance from the sun, has just the right atmosphere...bla bla bla, that is somehow proof that the world was "created" for man.
It is completely erroneous and misguided. It is actually the exact opposite. Life as we know it has evolved under the existing conditions, and because the various conditions favoured the forms of life that eventually became us, OF COURSE it appears that conditions are favourable for our existence...because they are!! If they weren't we wouldn't be around to ask the question.
Try again.

Nope. Those have to be among the weakest arguments for the existence of God I've seen.
I'm more convinced of God's non-existence and more concerned about the intelligence of people who believe that kind of stuff.

The 'just right' universe is non-provable since we have no other universes to compare. Just because fundamental physical laws seem to help out life is not proof of God. It could just as easily show that life adapts. But it proves neither. Nice try fundie.

God doesn't come to live among us.
Why will God come? Does he feel lonely?
Anyway,we believe in God. One God not three.
Do you need evidence?

God would never put out proof that s/he exists.

i didn't look at the web sites you posted, but i don't see how a person can deny there is a God. look around you , look at a sunset, a rainbow listen to a newborn baby when he/she takes that first cry. i know that people will put science into, but who put the science into place.

Try the scriptures. Then prayer.
That works well- even miracles!
