@MaggieSullivan60 The arguments from motion and efficient cause have some of the same problems. They assume that there's no possibility of infinite regression, and that the assumed causal starting point must be a deity, (particularly your specific deity). There could also be multiple first causes, and also consider that physicists have observed phenomena that have no apparent cause. Just because most things in the universe have a cause, that doesn't mean that the universe itself has to have one.
Arguing from possibility & necessity also requires assuming facts not in evidence. If one starts from absolute nothingness, then there are no laws of physics to prevent the universe from appearing on its own. You make the same assumptions about causes, and that this cause has to be a singular deity.
The argument from gradation is pretty silly. Lines 3,4, and 5 are simply untrue!
As for design, this designer would have to be largely evil, or at least inept, and ineptitude doesn't seem to fit with ideas of a singular deity. Do I have to explain why?
Besides all of that, you're still left with a need to explain who/what made your deity.
