(2) 在沙漠發現了一隻手錶，難道認為沒有製造這手錶的人嗎？〔鐘錶匠論證，Watchmaker Argument〕
答：誰創造了「創造者」？
問：有絕對／客觀的道德規條，因此必有一個絕對的道德規條定立者，它就是神。〔道德論證〕
答：世界各地道德、文化皆不同，例如對同性戀、安樂死、一夫一妻制等都沒有一致看法。
問：上帝是一切可能想像中最偉大的本體。假如它不存在，就還有一個比它更偉大的本體可同時存在和被想像到。因此，上帝是存在的。〔本體論證，Ontological Argument〕

(2) 根據聖經記載，耶穌從沒有自稱為神，這是其他門徒在耶穌死後才說的。
問：耶穌是各大宗教創教者中唯一自稱是神，死而復活，並以神跡改變了很多人的生命，因此耶穌是神存在的有力證據。［復活論證］
答：聖經從沒記載耶穌曾自稱是神，而記載耶穌復活的情節是後人添加的。〔耶穌不是救世主，更從來也沒有復活過〕
問：神的存在是不證自明、不言而喻的（self-evident / proved by unaided reason）
答：很理解這種面對著強烈反駁之下無力抗辯的回應。
