Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

No. They don't poof into existence.

What causes a snowflake to exist?

What I mean, is that I don't see anyone on the opposing side, making the argument that you are attempting to refute.  And I'm glad that you think that snowflakes need a reason, for beginning to exist.   I agree.  And I'm sorry, but since I'm not making the argument that you are trying to refute, I don't really see the need to go into a number of things that cause a snowflake to form.

I did not say that they need a reason to begin to exist. That applies agency where there is none. Nor did I ever say that there was a single cause.

Religionists use such language because they ultimately want to convince everyone that there is a single god responsible for it all.

They do this because of their preference for binary, discrete thinking.

What I am trying to show is that things rarely, if ever happen because of a single 'cause', but because of a history of changes in the environment.

You're just trying to avoid the question so I'll make it easy for you:

How Do Snowflakes Form?

A Tiny Particle High in Earth's Atmosphere

A snowflake begins when a tiny dust or pollen particle comes into contact with water vapor high in Earth's atmosphere. The water vapor coats the tiny particle and freezes into a tiny crystal of ice. This tiny crystal will be the "seed" from which a snowflake will grow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. When further cooled, the airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water (dew).

So what is the reason for a snowflake to exist? What causes it to exist?

I've seen the same person argue, that things don't need a cause to begin to exists.  

So who were you talking about?
