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.
So you like it when people lie to you is that it? If that is what you want go somewhere else. You not liking our word choice does not mean we are being uncivil. If you want to live in an uncivil society try Isis. Here however in the west you can be offended without stupidly thinking we are being mean. Blunt yes, mean no.
There is no polite way to say it, you got it wrong, those books were written in an age of ignorance when humans didn't know any better. THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW. If you are looking for people to coddle your insecurities you are barking up the wrong tree. Maybe YOU need to consider that YOU got it wrong instead of falsely accusing us of not being civil.
You are starting to sound like a brat at the candy isle when the parent tells you no.
