Peter Kreeft is a professor of philosophy and the author of numerous books on Christian Apologetics including "The Handbook of Christian Apologetics". This collates a list of twenty arguments for God which have been made over the centuries. You can view them here
Each of them has well known philosophical objections - these are provided below:
#1 The Argument from Change
#2 The Argument from Efficient Causality
#3 The Argument from Time and Contingency
#4 The argument from Degrees of Perfection
#5 The Design Argument
#6 The Kalam Argument
#7 The Argument from Contingency
#8 The Argument from the world as an interacting whole
#9 The Argument from Miracles
#10 The Argument from Consciousness
#11 The Argument from Truth
#12 The Argument from the origin of the idea of God
#13 The Ontological Argument
#14 The Moral Argument
#15 The Argument from Conscience
#16 The Argument from Desire
#17 The Argument from aesthetic experience
#18 The Argument from Religious Experience
#19 The Common Consent Argument
#20 Pascal's Wager
The title is a 3rd attempt as the previous titles generated opprobrium from two Christians. 1st attempt (Reason is the Greatest Enemy that Faith Has) was allegedly a misrepresentation of Martin Luther. A creationist gave me a modified version (Reason can be - and often is - the greatest enemy that faith has) but became angry when I used it. Latest attempt is from Mark Twain. The posts here describe conversations with Apologists & what I regard as their fallacious arguments.
