I understand you dispise Religion, but bear in mind that same hatred is biasing your thoughts, like a religious person is biased on religious thoughts. Now, we all are a bit biased towards our ideas, its fine, that's why we discuss things, but when you use a logical fallacy to get your point across you are doing the same thing most of us complain about fundamentalists (e.g. Something can't come from nothing... except god, etc). If you truly want to remain honest in your position, you must avoid this argument, its silly anyway... you are discussing amnipotence, something never observed, and god, something also yet to be observed
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to throw you under the bus, I also used that argument before, but I learned about its fallacies (it isn't very obvious anyway), so granted, I avoid using that. You may get alot of theists reeling when you invoke it, but the more advanced theists around (like Ryft, fr0d0 and in this case Tack) will just tear it apart. And for me, education its more important than religion. If all the theists averaged in brains like Tack, Ryft or even fr0ds, I believe there wouldn't be a problem in the world derived from religion.
