The teleological one or that everything has a purpose. Design implies a Designer; order, and Orderer; purpose, a Purposer; beginning, a Beginner; intelligence, an Ultimate Mind; thought, a Thinker. We know the universe had a beginning and we must wonder who began it. The Big Bang, for instance, begs the question of who “banged” it. We know the universe is not eternal but began to exist and this implies a Beginner. Who got the ball rolling or is the First Cause because nothing can cause or create itself according to the law of cause and effect. An endless series of finite causes is impossible; it's impossible to cross infinity and infinite regress is nonsensical
The kalam cosmological argument states that everything that begins to exist, has a cause; the cosmos began and therefore has a cause—most likely God. The existence of the harmony of the laws of nature indicate intelligent design or ID. The Anthropic Principle goes further and says that it shows the cosmos is designed for life.
But these are all secular, scientific, or philosophical arguments. The best evidence literally is that God came to earth and showed Himself in the person of Jesus, proving it by rising from the dead. He claimed to be God in the flesh, the very Son of God. Soli Deo Gloria!
