When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?
#88
RE: When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?
The problem is that Delicate is actually arguing for two things couched in the same language:

1. That a god exists
2. That it's her(?) god

2 doesn't necessarily follow from 1, yet 1 is predicated on 2, namely that the creature in question just happens to have the characteristics of the god they believe in.  Convenient, that.

I can imagine all sorts of creatures that could be powerful enough to create a universe, yet not be omniscient or omnipotent or any of the things they demand we take at their word that their god has.  I see no reason to acquiesce to that particular demand in the arguments' premises.
