Am I a Deist? Cosmological Argument seems reasonable to me.

Pointing out the flaws in your reasoning is not an ad hom. If Jor had called you a stinky head and said because of your lack of showers that we shouldn't listen to you, then she'd have ad hommed you. But as it is she simply pointed out that your "it's good enough for me!" arguments simply don't cut the mustard when trying to justify what you are saying.

Quote:If you are interested I advise you to read the last 2-3 pages and you will notice (hopefully) i'm not proposing what you think I am.

I'd be very much surprised if you even understand the basics of what you are proposing. From what I gather your line of reasoning goes thusly:

1) I think quantum mechanics breaks down close to the big bang, mainly because I don't understand quantum mechanics (don't sweat on the second part of the sentence, most people don't understand qm including me)
2) ?????
3) Therefore god must exist to create the universe.

The bit in the middle is the "it's good enough for me!" that I referred to above. In order to prove your conjecture you must show step one is true, and that we will never truly know what happens in the period where step one takes place, flesh out step two, and then show how steps one and two follow on to step three with no other conclusion being applicable. However I can't see how you could prove god using the criteria you have given yourself as a starting point.
