Historically, there have been many proofs of God by many profound scholars and theologians old and new which have amply stood the test of time. Generally these fall into one of four categories: moral – an argument based on moral law requiring a moral lawgiver; ontological – an argument based on essence, i.e., God as a Being such that there is no greater; cosmological – the necessity of a First Cause, and teleological – design requiring a designer. I am unaware of any authoritative disproof of any of them with the possible exception of Kant’s refutation of the isolated ontological argument (though I respectfully reject his disproof). Since Plantinga, even modern philosophy seems to have bowed to theism (though certainly the consensus is not unanimous). You may find my theological proof at http://colannino-nonrandomthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/01/proof-of-god-j-colannino.html, though it contains little, if any, original material. I think it fair to say that an unbiased examination of the evidence leads to theism.
