OK, Ryan, I'm looking forward to your attempt. Watch out for issues of equifinality (two different causes that have the same effect). Most of the "proofs" of God that I've heard suffer from the fact that some other, non-divine, cause is at least possible. This is a major problem for such attempts. Since we know that things that are not God exist, and we don't know that God exists (since that's what you're trying to demonstrate) it is more parsimonious to assume a non-divine cause (Occam's Razor).
Good luck, though.
