What is your answer?
Plantinga and many other Reformed thinkers oppose the attempt to prove the existence of God -- because they think that
{ 1 } - we don't need to prove other basic beliefs (like about the existence of the external world or the existence of other minds).
{ 2 } - our belief in God can be reasonable even without proofs.
{ 3 } - a belief based on rational arguments would be unstable and wavering -- so we should start with a firm belief in God, instead of relying on arguments.
{ 4 } - the rational proofs don't work.
{ 5 } - all of the above.
