My Rebuttal to Dawkins Argument

[Brian37]

Said the one who claims an invisible sky wizard with zero evidence to back it up.

Man I wish you were as gullible about your wallet as you are about your belief in a god. I could sell you an invisible Lamborghini. Did I mention I also own the Brooklyn Bridge, I could sell it to you, you could make a mint on traffic tolls.

Who says I have zero evidence?

1. Appeal to popularity does not constitute evidence. If it worked like that then the world should all become Muslims because it has the most members.

2. Using a holy book or holy writings of  ANY RELIGION  to prove a god or religion is called circular reasoning, humans of every religion use circular reasoning. Circular reasoning also does not constitute evidence. Muslims and Jews and Hindus also point to their writings.

3. Appeal to tradition, again, see #1 and #2

4. Appeal to authority(holy people or theologians) is also not evidence. All religions do this. Muslims and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus and Catholics and Mormons and Sikhs also point to their brand of holy person.

5. A history of passing down claims generation after generation only means a history of passing down a claim. At one point the majority of the world's population once believed the earth to be flat.

6. Religious people can accept science. While that is true, scientific method is not a religion but a tool and it is not there to prop up or favor any one religion. Scientific method is completely separate and independent from ALL religions. 

7. Scientific method is the only universal tool humans have to gain knowledge. It is why a computer will work in Japan and in Saudi Arabia and Mexico. It is why planes fly and land in all countries.

Now when you can prove your god claim in a lab and beat everyone to the patent office then you can collect your Nobel Prize in "God theory". I doubt you'll have any better luck than any other person in the world has. 

My advice to you would be to consider that YOU got it wrong and your god belief only dwells in your brain because someone else sold it to you, because someone else sold it to them.
