What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
RE: What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?
Personally, I think it's just a side effect of how the rules of reality work. Any life form that has survived a few generations obviously has the ability to survive, and the more it survives, the better it gets at it. Those variations that don't survive get killed and reproduce less. So those with better instincts are naturally selected...

Fast forward to us, and this idea will have been refined and concentrated an unimaginable number of times.

That's my take on it. It gives the illusion of a "will to survive", but really it's just cause and effect. And I think our consciousness is just a weird side effect of our brains working, which are basically organic computers.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
