Brd99boy - what do you like about the teleological argument?
For those that haven't heard of it, it's the "the universe is complicated so there must be a creator, just as a complicated watch must have been made by a watchmaker". Doesn't strike me as particularly strong bearing in mind things like fractals - who would have thought something as beautiful as the Mandelbrot set would have come from something as simple as z -> z*z+c?
Gaunilo's "perfect island" is what we've been discussing for a bit (as "perfect horse", CSflim's interesting "perfect proof for the non-existence of God")
