Thanks everybody.
I doubt they're original enough to deserve their own thread? A few ideas I'm currently persuaded by:
I have some squishier ideas, too. Things like: life begets life, the universe demonstrates order and we generally regard order as a sign of intelligence, etc.
Not very sophisticated, but that's where I'm at right now.

You should start a thread in the Theism section outlining your beliefs. We're quite good at putting labels on things here.
I doubt they're original enough to deserve their own thread? A few ideas I'm currently persuaded by:
- I exist and I can know things
- there has always been something; nothing comes from nothing
- there is a first cause, and it was uncaused
- there's no such thing as literal randomness, e.g. effects with no cause
- it's not possible for creatures to fully comprehend a creator, but a creator has the ability to reveal certain knowledge to creatures
- evolution (not sure of exact definition, but I have an idea) to some extent is observable fact
