What are the stronger arguments for a god then?
Because having been raised in churches and studying under university trained apologists I've only encountered weak arguments. All relying on appeals to authority or unfalsifiable claims. Even the premise of a god strikes me as impossible and/or irrelevant given it must also exist outside the bounds of our experience.

Some of these were quite interesting, even if not convincing (to me). However, I couldn't give you the specifics as it has been a long time since I tried to engage with theistic apologetics. If you are interested then I'd suggest checking out the two books that I mentioned, as they cover the subject in depth.
