How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
Apologies for the "wall of me" right there. Enjoying this thread. Reminds me of an area where af has it all over tta, to wit the number of deep and reasoned thinkers. Good job, peeps.

Not that I'm really qualified to judge intelligent discourse. Big Grin

I liken arguments like that to a tic or spasm: you hit the end of an argument that doesn't lead to god and then just go "and that there is god!"

As though an assertion like that means anything at all. As though you can just sweep all the specific doctrines and beliefs attached to christianity under the rug and pretend that a deistic cause is sufficient to demonstrate what you really believe.  Rolleyes
I took on the Quinque Viae a long time ago and found it utterly laughable, I'm sure you're going to find the same thing because of all of the claims made, none of them lead to any specific gods, apologists just say "See!  My God!"  Yeah... not so much.

My comment is awaiting administrative approval - you theist you! Big Grin
