Well, if he's omnipotent, wouldn't that entail he could give things meaning?

Put it this way. The anagram - possibly aptagram, given the context - of omnipotent is "no, impotent".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Small point: we don't even know the universe came into existence at all. It might have just always existed in some form, with there never having been a state of "nothing".

Yes, it is the classical William Lane Craig thing or was it some other guy who was debating Christopher Hitchens.
The christian asked: "If there is no god, then where does our thoughts and feelings and intelligence comes from. Does it come from the oxygen molecule or carbonmolecule?"

Christopher's answer wasn't good.
Also, carbon is not a molecule. Also, our intelligence does not come from single molecules just like a calculators ability to calculate does not come from a silicon atom.

No. Omnipower means being able to move things around, making matter and energy from nothing. Traveling through time.
Giving a meaning to something is not exactly an action. It is like giving a name to someone. I am not taking any action on that someone. The name is not something detectable on that someone.

Holy fucking thread from the dead! Did you not read the warning about this thread being over 30 days old? Are you a sock?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I didn't notice the date. The thread was at the top of the list so I assumed it was fresh.

Well if god spelled backwards is dog and dog is man's best friend, then it only stands to reason that god is man's worst enemy.

It only makes sense if you have any sense.

For the record, I do know what argument he's trying to make, it's just so mind bogglingly stupid that i'd rather just let him continue commenting.
Good rod this is silly 

1. It's clear posts are on youtube are written by humans we observe posts being written by humans even if not every post is directly observed .

2. Glitches are detectable directly .Magic sky men are not .Glitches don't responses in coherent sentences humans do .

3.Unproven assumption order = sense =mind  as a necessity

4. False comparison 

5. The existence of human artifice cannot be used to prove god not matter what similarities you gleam

6. Evolution isn't glitch it is the system

I like how close it gets to a profound realization about human behavior and cognizance, before spiraling into the earth in a flaming pile.
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!

I can simplify it. 1. Glitches are extremely unlikely because servers use ECC RAM.
2. Computers use a binary system so single bit flips are unlikely.
3. The chances of a glitch creating an account, logging in and making a post that will reach youtube's database is pretty much an impossibility. The chances that the so-called glitch will keep responding to your post in a logical manner............
And all that happening inside of a few hours......

It does not compare well with the molecular world where there are a large number of molecules interacting and the error correction of early lifeforms would be non existent.

Theists are desperate people.
