You must mean people like David Bentley Hart, or Edward Feser, or Oliva Blanchette. This is not to say the argument is sound just because big name intellectuals consider it so.

Quote:So I have no pretense about understanding the concept of a Necessary Being. I do. And I know enough to see quite clearly that not only do you not get it but you do even try to get it.-and yet you go on to make the same rookie mistakes that others have made in thread, mistakes which you seemed to recognize when others make them, or think that you do (because, honestly, I have no idea whether or not you got that right by accident). Would nothing exist today if numbers didn't exist? Are they somehow required for there to be anything? So what's all that bullshit about the requirement of a necessary being, again?
You fucked up, hard, what you'd like to say is that there would be nothing if it weren;t for your god, but..unfortunately, all of this still exists regardless of whether or not your god exists, which is an open question...if we're being very, very generous. If you found out, tomorrow, that your god didn't exist...then the world wouldn't dissolve into nothingness on account of that realization. Learn to do this shit right.
