I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?
RE: I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?
You will notice, dear reader, that the theist Mariosep uses the same approach as so many other theists, where he makes claims about "the totality of reality" and does not even attempt to produce a god. His intent is to imply that god is necessary via a process of elimination, not to actually produce evidence of a god. He will torture logic and spill forth word salad in copious volumes in order to lead the discussion as far away from evidence for god as he possibly can, instead demanding that atheists disprove the possibility of god existing.

One will note that he can neither explain his statement nor prove it nor indicate why it would lead us to the necessity of a god. He simply claims it, then claims it again, then tries to obfuscate with additional word salad designed to confuse the issue. It's not unusual to have theists approach the issue from the other end and demand that god be recognized as a default position that must be disproved. There is no other option-- god does not ever show up and the universe does not offer up any clues as to his existence, which would be considered as sufficient to dismiss any other concept.

Do away with the presupposition that god exists, and his attempted 'proof' leads him nowhere. What are the odds that he will do this? Zero, of course.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
