You'd think that at some point, someone would actually take a run at it...if for no other reason than to silence me. But no one has, and it's plain enough why...
To be fair, atheists have their own arguments which present a challenge, but the Five Minimal Facts has them flummoxed.
How are the car sales going?
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
