Before I read anything, I noticed the caveat in the headline (if God exists)
First, the evidence is overwhelming that there is a creator who has unlimited power and knowledge. There is no alternative explanation that is not nonsense.
We are half way to a capital G on god/creator. Simplicity would be another notch in the belt. Maybe a couple more notches and we will have our capital G.
Well, you know where I land on this—after all, I have an entire book, along with however many articles, making the case for the existence of God. The point of the clarification was just to hedge against people misunderstanding the nature of the argument and help them avoid objecting to it on irrelevant grounds.
Ultimately, the argument is aimed at exposing an (I think) irreconcilable tension for theists who are not classical theists, forcing one either to abandon the idea that God is composite or the idea that God is truly ultimate (which is just to say that God is not… well, God).
