Thomas AquinasFive ways (quinquae viae): unmoved mover, first cause, contingency, degree or gradation, “design”.
Anselm of CanterburyOntological argument: nothing greater can be conceived.
René Descartes“I think, therefore I am”, and someone must have created me.
Robert SpaemannGrammatical argument: regarding the transience of the world, the futurum exactum can only be true if there is a greater, eternal consciousness.
Helmut HansenGod reveals himself in the structure of the universe.
Frank TiplerOmega Point Theory: the ultimate point of development which the universe may reach, but the theory’s weaknesses are numerous. Life, for example, is seen as the ability to compute information and at the end Men are just like God.
