Part of the Prod in me just wants to lay in to this...But I'm learning to be restrained and non judgemental…learning to appreciate the common ground is more important than the differences…

The universe has uniformity and has laws that work in union with each other like clockwork. Plus, pretty much everything in the universe can be traced back to a single moment of creation at the big bang. I think this suggests that it all was designed by a single designer rather than several. If there were multiple gods, you would think some parts of the universe would be seperate and independent from each other.
From a philosophical standpoint, it also makes more sense that there would only be a single transcendent uncaused cause rather than multiple.

From a logical standpoint it is impossible that there be multiple maximally great beings for the simple reason that that would lead to countless violations of the law of non-contradiction. The simplest example is if one MGB decides to create and another decides to prevent creation. There can be only one omnipotent, omniscient God.
