Fixed your post.
In response to your baseless assertion which has been proven to be wrong, http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB102.html.
In fact I'd advise you to read the whole of talk origins. It pretty comprehensively debunks the fallacies and lies of the shits behind creatardism and cdesign propnentsistism.

I know, but I'll keep rubbing his face in his profound ignorance for a few weeks. After that I'll work on arkilogue some more, he looks like he's beginning to think he's free at this stage.

Asking why there is anything at all rather than nothing at all makes no sense. There can't be nothing at all. The only thing that can ever be is something. Existence has to exist and be existent otherwise it's not existence.
Are you suggesting that of the two, the set of things which include something and the set of things which include nothing at all, only the former could possibly include questioners?
There isn't a set of things that contain nothing at all and such a set certainly doesn't contain questioners because it doesn't contain anything because there's no such thing as a set of no things... it doesn't exist [emoji56]

How about a hypothetical set of no things in a hypothetical alternative universe which is demarcated by absolutely nothing? (Hence the name.)

@ Whatev
By a hypothetical set of no things do you mean the hypothesis or conceptualization itself? The concept of "nothing" or "no things" can exist but nothing itself or no things themselves cannot.
I feel overly serious, hehe.
I like the Play-Do jest.

Every single time you stub your toe on a rock you prove my position is correct. You trying to say that materialism is unsupported is at the same level as Ken Ham trying to denounce evolution because "nobody has ever seen DNA mutate".
Your position is false, it is demonstrably wrong and is delusional. Deal with it.
Straw man much? Is this what happens-- anyone who challenges you to support your opinion gets lumped in with morons?
My position is that you are making assertions about the nature of reality, and you cannot prove those assertions to be true. Using an experience (pain, in this case) to demonstrate the fundamental nature of reality is non sequitur, unless you are attempting to demonstrate that the universe is experiential.
The confident and condescending way you assert a position you don't bother to prove is familiar-- it is the same stance taken by many Christians. Luckily, rudeness doesn't equal truth.
And by the way, since you claim my positions is false and delusional-- maybe you'll share with me what you think my position IS? Because I'm pretty sure you don't know.

That isn't really true. After you've eliminated the impossible, what remains is merely the possible, which may or may not be the actual case.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

42 pages....still not sure what an objective truth is, and now we're on to creatinism
That bit quoted by the poster above me, Soldat..it isn't actually logical...but it is an explicit admission of the improbability of what you're proposing. Delicious irony. I thought we already discussed this...20 pages ago? Everyone on earth being wrong about -everything- wouldn't make you right about -anything-. If you want that to be the case, you have to make the case...and asserting ad naus doesn't cut it. The absolute best you could hope for in the line of rationalizations expressed in this thread is an argument from incredulity. Seems like a waste of time and effort to me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
