I think so. Consider:
'Throughout history, most people have believed in some sort of God. Therefore, God exists.'
'The Bible says god exists, therefore god exists.'
'God must exist: so many people find happiness in religion.'
'Will you accept Jesus as your saviour, or burn for eternity in Hell?'
And then, the IDers favorite platitude:
'The universe is like an intricate watch.
A watch must have been designed by a watchmaker.
Therefore, the universe must have been designed by some kind of creator.'

Do you know the Bible contains the words, "...there is no God" a couple of times?😉
Isaiah 44:6 - Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isaiah 45:5 - I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 🙂

a watchmaker makes watches
therefore the creator makes watches

Why do you trust your own thinking?

'Will you accept Jesus as your saviour, or burn for eternity in Hell?' is not a logical statement. it is, i think, true but it cannot be found logically from anything. it is something you have to learn...
and the first one is a curious one-worthy of it's own thread, perhaps?
