Disproving the Bible

[Natachan]

Let's discuss one--Contingency Argument.
1. Anything that exists has an explanation of its existence (either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause).

Prove it. This is an assertion. Provide evidence. Because there are some quantum physicists would tend to disagree with you.

2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.

Why is this the only explanation? This is an assertion. Maybe a scientist in another universe created this one. Maybe this universe was created by matter sucked into the center of a black hole in another universe. Maybe there was no cause. Maybe there is no explanation. Why is God the only explanation?

3. The universe exists.
4. Therefore the explanation of the existence of the universe is God.

Existence of the universe only proves the universe exists. No more. You have yet to establish any of your premises, so your conclusion does not follow.

Moreover, even if I grant you that the universe must have a creative intelligence behind it (and I don't) why should this intelligence be the Christian god who sent a man to be born of a virgin, walk on water, and rise after he died? How do these things follow from the existence of a creative intelligence?
