What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

So because you can't see a rational explanation for this stuff, you've decided that - rather than to keep looking for a rational explanation - the best way forward is an irrational explanation?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. The lamest defence of Theism is (drum roll):

The God of Gaps.

Were you one of those guys who was saying up until a few weeks ago that there was no evidence for gravity waves, so current astronomical theories must be invalid, and therefore there is a God?

BTW. You expressed doubts that I have a degree. I could post a photo of it on here if you like. Just give me a ten digit number and the photo will include that as well.

But of course, that would just be me providing evidence, and in your book, evidence is irrelevant.

And if I can reproduce your ten digit number in my photo, I suppose you'll say it couldn't possibly have happened by coincidence and therefore God must have been involved?
No it is because NOBODY has a natural explanation for it. It isn't just me not understanding it, it is that not a single person on the planet knows how it could have happened without being designed. And you are defining what is rational and irrational. I think that believing in the mathematically impossible is irrational, but that's what you do. 

The reason I have doubts about you having a degree is that you kept asserting that DNA could replicate itself, when that's not even close. I don't want a picture of it.

And I never said evidence is irrelevant. I'd love to talk about the cellular phenomena, but nobody else here understands any of it accept RocketSurgeon. You have just been conditioned to believe that you are on the side of evidence, and I am the side who doesn't like it. 

And no, randomly picking 10 digits and getting them correct is not close to picking the hundreds of digits needed to make a protein.
