Oh boy...something tells me you're not one of those people who's good at entertaining hypotheticals

They are generally a waste of time because they have no point in reality, I did this one to show you just that.

No, what you did was fail to participate in a thought exercise.

Quote:First of all it couldn't have created the universe and I explained why.

No, you refused to entertain the first hypothetical circumstance. I'm asking you try to think as you would if there were truly a space slug that truly created your universe in an act of Deus ex merda, and your response is basically to say "I lack sufficient imagination to accept that assumption and participate in the exercise."

Quote:Yes it would have made a difference, we know nothing about this slug, other than it can poop without eating.

Incorrect. You also know that it created our universe by pooping because I said so. That is how hypotheticals work.

Quote:I found it rather easy to take apart.

This wasn't an argument. This was a hypothetical thought exercise. You don't take those apart. I essentially asked you to play pretend. How hard is that?

RTP Wrote:For the purpose of this hypothetical, we're assuming that the slug was in fact able to poop, and that poop did in fact result in our universe. Make whatever leaps are necessary to assume those things. Perhaps it existed in a previous universe that had plenty of food until that universe was annihilated by ours being created. Maybe this slug does not need anything around it in order to poop. This is a nonsense object we're talking about here. Play with it.

Quote:That's the problem with these things their nonsense and contribute nothing to reality, they are a waste of time, time I'd rather spend doing something else. I knew I should have left this thing alone. Now to play just a bit more, as I said pooping is a biological process, there's nothing supernatural or creative about it.

So what if it were a supernatural poop?
 
Quote: Yes it needs to have not been created but rather existed for eternity, it needed to be omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. It needed to be morally perfect to be worthy of worship and capable of creating a perfect universe even knowing the created would corrupt it's perfection. It also would have had to have an eternal plan to right what the created corrupted. The slug meets none of this, all it did was poop.

Ok, so let's say this is an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, morally perfect space slug that's capable of pooping out a perfect universe, and that it has a plan to rectify the imperfect actions of that universe's inhabitants. Now does it count as god?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
