I’m thinking of the latest wizard wheeze in apologetics, which is to posit that the fact of orderly physics is evidence of God.
This is new in Christianity? I heard of it as an old Islamic argument: God’s presence continually maintains the order of the universe; without God, everything would fall into chaos; therefore, the fact that you are able to observe a consistent universe is itself evidence of God.

Wonder how the same arguers deal with an unorderly universe with flying horse miracles.
I suppose there aren’t really new apologetics. I wonder if there’s a list:
God of the gaps.
Argument from wishful thinking (ontological argument and variants).
I feel there is God, therefore God.
Both A and not-A are evidence of God.
Edit: Of course there’s a list.
