The universe is according to current thought expanding (rather than being a constant entity) as there is a tendency towards entropy (chaos) rather than enthalpy (order). A better way to argue for the existence of a higher power would be to run along the lines of how life exists (semi-ordered and therefore more enthalpic) given the universe's entropic nature. Good luck, amny have tried, none have suceeded.
From a philosophical point of view it's almost impossible (in the sense that no-one has evver successfully managed it) to either prove or disprove the existence of god. Like I said, good luck, you'll need it.
