Why is there something rather than nothing? To say "I don't know" to that question and then tell a theist that the idea of God is ridiculous is, at best, inconsistent.
Exactly what do you mean when you say it's inconsistent here? The idea of God is ridiculous whether or not there is an alternative or not. To reject a ludicrous hypothesis even if you lack an alternative is not inconsistent, it's just common sense. What do you mean here?
