Hi!
I responded briefly to each argument, but wanted to raise a larger point: Even if each was perfectly logically sound, none of these arguments implies that the God posited is in any way similar to the Judeo-Christian God (beyond the matter of creation). That is, it's entirely possible that a divine being created the universe, then went on to other projects over creative differences. Or that It perished after creating the universe. Or that It's a total jerk and our duty as moral beings would be to oppose It.
Not saying I believe any of any of the above. But the arguments don't address this issue at all.
