Just wondering if there are any more arguments for God's existence...

Love, beauty, morality, existence, near-tragic events, complexity of life, finely-tuned universe, prophecies, experiences...

Missed any?

That about covers it that I can think of. Perhaps just the existence of the laws and nature of physics.
Who set the rules?
What set the laws of the spectrum?
The existence of time and space?
The bounds of the present reality and substance?
The complex nature of gravity and inertia?

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

Before you can ask if you missed any, you have to give some reasons first.

Love? Any emotion is chemically based in the brain.

Beauty? What about all of those who are considered not beautiful? Did god love them less than others? Rediculous.

Morality is not exclusive to god or religion. Cultures who do not have a god or a different god have morals as well.

Near-tragic events? What does this mean? God was toying around and then went, "Gotcha!"?

Complexity of life. There's a good one.. What does that mean? Life is complex how? Or do you mean specific species? Yes, there is complexity in our bodies but why would god give us an appendix if we don't use it? Absurd.

Finely-tuned universe? Nope. Each year, the moon drifts away from the earth at the rate of 1 inch. Eventually, it will drift far enough away to where the earth will not be able to sustain life. How is that for finely tuned?

Prophecies? Which ones? Please explain. Finally..

Experiences.. Well, we alone control our experiences. I can't credit or blame god for that.

You ask 'Missed any?'... I'm waiting for even one. If a god's existence could be logically or physically proven, we wouldn't have (many) atheists.

You assume that atheists don't want to believe in your god, when in reality they just aren't as ignorant as yourself. When I use the word 'ignorant' I mean the literal sense of the word, not as a hollow insult of sorts.

You should look into science and history more, if you want real answers, or at least real attempts at finding answers.

There are 300 arguments for God's existence on the following website. I'll give a couple of exerpts for the click-averse:
TRANSCENDENTAL ARGUMENT, a.k.a. PRESUPPOSITIONALIST (I)
(1) If reason exists then God exists.
(2) Reason exists.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT, a.k.a. FIRST CAUSE ARGUMENT (I)
(1) If I say something must have a cause, it has a cause.
(2) I say the universe must have a cause.
(3) Therefore, the universe has a cause.
(4) Therefore, God exists.

ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (I)
(1) I define God to be X.
(2) Since I can conceive of X, X must exist.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM FALLIBILITY
(1) Human reasoning is inherently flawed.
(2) Therefore, there is no reasonable way to challenge a proposition.
(3) I propose that God exists.
(4) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM SMUGNESS
(1) God exists.
(2) I don't give a crap whether you believe it or not; I have better things to do than to try to convince you morons.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM UPPERCASE ASSERTION
(1) GOD EXISTS! GET USED TO IT!
(2) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM INFINITE REGRESS, a.k.a. FIRST CAUSE ARGUMENT (II)
(1) Ask Atheists what caused the Big Bang.
(2) Regardless of their answer, ask how they know this.
(3) Continue process until the Atheist admits he doesn't know the answer to one of your questions.
(4) You win!
(5) Therefore, God exists.

i think that the existence of god cant be doughted i am a muslim and in the quran there are many facts that prove that god does exist it contains many things that no man could have ever known .how could a man know how babies are conceived 1500 years ago or that the earth is round not flat or that all things contain water and that it is the key of life and needed to perform all body functions .i am sure that there are other proofs of god's existence in other holly books

You forgot the banana. That one's my new favorite.

And you missed those of us who feel no need to justify what we believe to people looking to pick a fight.

I still am trying to figure out why some Christians try to use logic and irrationality to explain something they believe on a spiritual/supernatural level.

Logic. People say the universe originated from some particles or than man came from a single celled organism. What they don't want to get into is where these things came from. They either had to spontaneously generate (scientifically disproven already), be finite (created) or be infinite (always existed). Long story short, those things aren't infinite and had to have been created.

You need only one 'argument' for God's existence - your own existence ie your being here.

HATE! ... As With This SOB...
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” – Richard Dawkins; The God Delusion
