BTW, I find none of those components/conclusions/cumulative case convincing. The fantasy provides an explanation that you seen to need, nothing more.
The Natural Theology arguments only infer God (non-specific). You would have to compare the NT with the Koran to see which one is more compelling, evidenced, and internally consistent. I think Christianity meet that criteria better by far.
BTW, using the word 'fantasy' over and over in your posts is not a way to have a civil discourse.
bold mine
Would you prefer Delusion? Hokum? Malarkey? I'm trying to be nice/tolerant. That's the most civil word I can think of to describe your belief in one word.
I know you won't be able to do this but, imagine your self explaining your belief to a society that had never conceived of a god or had the concept of a completely different god. What do you think they would say?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
