There are dozens (and here) of arguments for God’s existence. Provided here are three powerful arguments for theism. If you can just remember GOD’s name you can remember these three arguments.
G = Good and evil
O = Origins of the universe
D = Design of the universe
The ‘g’ in God’s name stands for good and evil. The fact that there exists objective moral truth is evidence for God. Check out the video titled “The Moral Argument” for a quick introduction. Below that video (and the other videos) are summaries and links to more information about that argument. The ‘o’ in God’s name stands origins of the universe. The video for the origins of the universe for evidence for God’s existence is titled “The Kalam Cosmological Argument.” There are many versions of the cosmological argument, but the kalam version argues from the beginning of the universe to the existence of God. The ‘d’ in God’s name stands for design of the universe. The video for the design of the universe is titled “The Fine-Tuning of the Universe.”
Good and Evil
The Moral Argument (or the argument from good and evil) can be summarized as such:
P1: If God doesn’t exist, objective moral truth does not exist.
P2: Objective moral truths does exist.
C: So, God exists.

Origins of the Universe
The Kalam Cosmological Argument (or the argument from the origins of the universe) can be summarized:
P1: Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
P2: The universe began to exist.
C: So, the universe has a cause

Design of the Universe
The Fine-tuning Argument (or the argument from the design of the universe) can be summarized:
P1: The fine-tuning for life in the universe is either due to chance, necessity, or design.
P2: It is not due to chance or necessity.
C: So, it is due to design.
