This Pro-Christianity Video Just Survived r/atheism
Among the many examples of real-world miracles we can point to, I have just discovered another: A pro-Christianity YouTube video which not only survived r/atheism, but it did so while bashing Bill Nye and advocating Creationism!
Here's the video, which basically makes a transcendental argument for God from the existence of numbers. You could call it the argument from math:

Other <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transcendental_argument_for_the_existence_of_God&oldid=738437111">transcendental-type arguments for God include the argument <a href="http://www.reasonablefaith.org/the-moral-argument-for-god">from morality and from <a href="http://www.afterecon.com/philosophy-religion-and-apologetics/christian-epistemology-argument-argument/">argument.
At the time of writing, the video had arrived on the front page of r/all with 5200+ upvotes and still trending.
A key point of surprise is that the comments section isn't full of hate, and atheists/agnostics are even granting the point and upvoting comments in favor:

Interesting point about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis">simulation hypothesis. I replied to the "gods all the way up" as follows:
It needs to be finitely up, not infinitely up, or else existence never happens. So call the one at the top God.
I think it's helpful for theists to have several diverse arguments anyway in order to build a more robust understanding of God. The numbers thing just establishes a few properties.
