No book is necessary.
The truth of Universe Creating Pixies is written on your heart.
Oh, and here is my proof one more time:
1. Formulate the information of the concept of universe creating pixies, thus:
"Universe creating pixies in concept are first and foremost the creators and operators of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.
5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of universe creating pixies, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
6. Conclusion: universe creating pixies exists in concept as first and foremost the creators and operators of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Though it could only help strengthen the arguments, don't you think?

I am a believer! If you need us to prove our ears exist, just say the word.

If pixies don't exist, where do we get pixie dust from?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Everyone know the Leprechauns are the true creators.

Exactly. It's all an argument from ignorance because Pixy is easier to spell.
Pixies don't even wear hats! We all know that religious leaders get their authority from wearing the biggest hat. All leprosy corns wear hats.
Ergo they're the true creators.

You're all wrong. Gnomes are the true creators. They have the biggest, pointiest hats and there are many thousands of believers worldwide as evidenced by the effigies they erect in their gardens. You guys are all just agnomtic.

Again, This argument is an example of an incomplete understanding of Christian theology, missing as it does a major philosophical and historical aspect of Christian thought: the idea that there are positive reasons suggesting the existence of God. Whether Christian or atheist, you can’t help but laugh at this. Of course, we laugh for different reasons. But who is thinking about this correctly? When it comes down to it, this image is merely a false analogy, a logical fallacy that tries to equate the argument of the existence of pixies with the argument for the existence of God. The Bible is epistemologically correct, explains why science is possible, gives a consistent basis for morality, logic, and truth, and is without contradictions both internally and with reality. The Bible explains the most fundamental questions that humans need to know, Where did I come from? (God created us - Genesis 1:1) (2) Why am I here? (we are here to have a relationship with God - Genesis 15:6) (3) Where am I going? (we have a destination after death - Genesis 25:8). The bible contains hundreds of fulfilled prophecies which people who are not open to the evidence deny.

Ta Da!
This is fun.
What else can be logiced into existence?
At the end of the day this argument is simply a joke, to mock the existence of God and keep in mind the atheist does not even believe in the universe creating pixies even though he uses the argument against the existence of God. Christianity, the Bible, and the Christian God, however, are based on far more than being unfalsifiable. Positive evidence and a cumulative case have always been part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Those who attempt to use the Pixies argument against the concept of God are not making an intelligent argument; they are being fallacious and deceptive.
