I would be that some creationists would believe a significant portion of those.

I ran into this a while back when Reginald Finley featured it on his Infidel Guy podcast. Back then I thought they could all be reduced down to proof # 20

#20 ARGUMENT FROM ABSURDITY (1) Maranathra! (2) Therefore, God exists.

I stand by that. ;-)

Only argument #24 has any probative force.

I prefer# 30. More stringent.

I got a copy of John Paulos' book "Irreligion" in which the author goes through all the usual proofs of a skyfairy. It's not a large book at all - absolutely all arguments for a deity are ignorant and fallacious (and hence the need to indoctrinate children before they have a chance to learn to think).
