RE: Best Theistic Arguments
The guy clearly had a fetish for massages and hot milk.  What we have evidence of, here, is that you;re a credulous loon, Rik.
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!

(You've been arguing these claims since April 7th, here, and the best you can come up with is, "I am quite satisfied that vibrations bring life therefore they are alive.")

You say that you do not make a claim but you do indeed.
By saying that there is not a creator you automatically say that the universe pop up by non life so now is up to you to explain where this non life suppose to be or to come from.

In the first place, no I have not made such a claim. Second, even if I had, it would be irrelevant to the question of whether your beliefs are dogma or not.
You're simply trying to sidetrack the conversation with irrelevant bullshit.

This is science while yours is a guess based on nothing.

And I've repeatedly pointed out that you have not provided one bit of scientific evidence for your claim. Put up or shut up.

Once again science tell us that everything that move on his own accord has life in it.
You see yog?
I follow science while  you only follow dreams, fantasies and BS.  Smile

Einstein may have said, "Everything in life is vibration." That is not the same thing as saying that vibrations and energy are alive.

Once again you claim that science says this or that without evidence that it does. Put up or shut up.

Support your claims or accept the inevitable conclusion that your beliefs are based on dogma.

Thanks in advance

Probably the best argument is that "the universe is set up for life" of course I don't believe that, but it's probably the most compelling to an undecided person.

Also "life cannot come from non life"

It really all depends on the type of theist your dealing with. They could have any number of arguments. Is this a deist or a young earth creationist? Jst watch some christian apologists debates and you'll get a good idea of their favorite arguments.

You are not answering the question.

AS AN ATHEIST YOU DO MAKE A CLAIM BY SAYING THAT THERE IS NO CREATOR right?
If there is no creator then life must come from non life, right?  Lightbulb

Where is the non life yog?  I'm all ears!

CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION ONCE AND FOR ALL?

So what you're saying is that you believe that both your worldview and mine are based on dogma and therefore they are both wrong. Is that correct?

RE: Best Theistic Arguments
The best evidence for anything godlike has to do with our conscious interface with our identity or overall consciousness. In that there is reason to think consciousness goes on without our conscious involvement. Dreams, hallucinations, sudden insight and creative inspiration are all evidence of a depth of consciousness which isn’t a product of any deliberate choice we’ve made. If you want to call that God okay, but then how about dialing back the claims made regarding the attributes and powers of God accordingly. Oh and just toss out the Bible.

RE: Best Theistic Arguments
The best argument for God is the pantheistic one which says that God is the Universe
This differs from classical theism which just says that the Universe is evidence of God

The first premise of the Kalam is false and the second premise is not proven
That renders the argument invalid and the discussion should then end there
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
