What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
RE: What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
I shouldn't be surprised. Theistic arguments are made out of logical fallacies like houses are made out of bricks.

"My understanding of the theory of evolution doesn't make sense, and it's wrong."

[Correct.]

"So the theory of evolution is incorrect."

[Wrong. Strawman fallacy.]

"Therefor life was designed."

[Wrong. False dichotomy.]

"Since everything needs a cause..."

[Unsupported assumption]

"...and the universe came into existence..."

[Unsupported assumption]

"...then it had to have a cause."

[Correct conclusion, but based on unfounded assumptions]

"The cause had to be intelligent..."

[Unsupported assumption]

"...and it must be a god."

[Either a tautology of definition, or a term too vague to mean anything scientifically, which is also unsupported]

"And since some parts of my holy book are true, all of it is true."

[Fallacy of composiiton]

"Therefor that God is my god."

[Jesus pickled christ!]
