One can never win a God existence argument with a God believer
by using science as a basis for the argument.
No matter what scientific proof is put forth to the believer, the
counter-argument will always be that God gives us the ability to reason and to thus present a scientific argument that tries to disprove God. This counter-argument continues by saying the
existence of god is actually proved by our scientific reasoning ability - not
disproved.
A counter-argument to use in this case is to argue that our ability to believe in God (#1) is given to us by God #2. And, therefore, since there is no proof (scientific or otherwise) to logically distinguish God #2 from God#1, or that God#2 does not exist independently from God #2, then God #2’s independent existence is confirmed. This is logically true because it applies exactly the same argument for God#2 that was used in the above argument for proving God#1.
To explain further, the argument for or against God #2 instead of God #1 is as valid as the argument for or against God #1 using science because the premise underling the argument for God #1 is exactly the same premise underlying the argument for God #2. And since God #2’s existence is confirmed subsequent to Gods #1, God #2 must be the real God because he is really the God that gives us the ability to reason logically and to try to unsuccessfully disprove God#2.

This argument is a winning argument until someone comes along who believes in God #3 and that God #3 gives us the ability to logically present a God #2 and God #1 argument………
