Again, This argument is an example of an incomplete understanding of Christian theology, missing as it does a major philosophical and historical aspect of Christian thought: the idea that there are positive reasons suggesting the existence of God. Whether Christian or atheist, you can’t help but laugh at this. Of course, we laugh for different reasons. But who is thinking about this correctly? When it comes down to it, this image is merely a false analogy, a logical fallacy that tries to equate the argument of the existence of pixies with the argument for the existence of God. The Bible is epistemologically correct, explains why science is possible, gives a consistent basis for morality, logic, and truth, and is without contradictions both internally and with reality. The Bible explains the most fundamental questions that humans need to know, Where did I come from? (God created us - Genesis 1:1) (2) Why am I here? (we are here to have a relationship with God - Genesis 15:6) (3) Where am I going? (we have a destination after death - Genesis 25:8). The bible contains hundreds of fulfilled prophecies which people who are not open to the evidence deny.
At the end of the day this argument is simply a joke, to mock the existence of God and keep in mind the atheist does not even believe in the universe creating pixies even though he uses the argument against the existence of God. Christianity, the Bible, and the Christian God, however, are based on far more than being unfalsifiable. Positive evidence and a cumulative case have always been part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Those who attempt to use the Pixies argument against the concept of God are not making an intelligent argument; they are being fallacious and deceptive.
Quote:1. Formulate the information of the concept of universe creating pixies, thus:
"Universe creating pixies in concept are first and foremost the creators and operators of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.
4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.
5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of universe creating pixies, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
6. Conclusion: universe creating pixies exists in concept as first and foremost the creators and operators of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
Ta Da!
This is fun.
What else can be logiced into existence?
