I don't know why I have a pimple on my ass-- therefore goddidit?

I don't know what "supervenience" means-- therefore goddidit?

You know that God created parts of himself? How, pray tell, do you know that?

Fixed it for you. You can only have consciousness of something if it exists, and you cannot demonstrate that your god idea represents something that exists.

I been demonstrating it for 12 pages now, wonder why you can't see it?

And I am not outnumbered, I'm just getting started; you're going to need those numbers before this is over.

At least you can admit it. Good job. You should keep learning, though. Never be satisfied that you have "learned enough". You should especially brush up on your evolution and cosmology. Also, if you can really understand the logic behind this comic, the point it's trying to make, you'll understand why shoving god in your personal gaps in knowledge isn't a real answer. It's intellectual lazy. There is no shame in admitting you don't know the answer to something - the only shame is pretending you have all the answers. Me, personally, I have no freaking clue what DNA is made of, how it works, how the coding works, wtf a gene actually is, how then get inside the nucleus of a cell - i don't freaking know any of it, and my mind, as yet, can't really comprehend how DNA works. I freely and openly admit to this forum:

ThePinsir doesn't know a damn thing about DNA!

But I don't think a god made it. I just need to read a book or two, or read some scientific journal entries, or ask my girlfriend who plays with it all the time in the lab, or whatever. Or maybe I'll have to wait until some scientists down the road makes a break-through discovery and publishes his or her results. But I hope you see my point - ignorance =/= gods.




As for being outnumbered - not in the real world, of course. I mean on this here atheist forum

No you haven't.

You've been using just about every logical fallacy there is.

And I don't think yoy even know what the 'argument from ignorance' fallacy is. Which is your main go to argument.

You know that God created parts of himself? How, pray tell, do you know that?

he once said " I am what I am", and I believe he made himself be much of whatever he is. When people ask me who created god, I always say he created parts of himself. The way I know, is the exact same way you know things; I studied, I searched, I looked and I examined; and I found a few things out.
