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

Positing a god only adds questions that I have never seen any theist even try to answer.

But a common objection is that everything needs to have a cause then.  This is why the premise is formulated as "that which begins to exist".  For something which didn't begin to exist, it is nonsense to require and explanation for that beginning (which did not occur).

Please explain HOW god did all the things you assign him. What was the process and where is your evidence in support of it?

Because without any of that stuff it is just unsupported speculation.
  Similarly, God's power would not be something which is traditionally understood to be acquired.  So to ask how it was acquired would be a non-sense question. [/quote]

Well that is a non-answer of previously unheard of magnitude.

Quote:Also, while the idea of God may invoke a number of questions, and we may not have answers for all of them; the KCA is making specific claims, of which it is saying that the classically understood God of theism best fits as an explanation to those attributes.

But they explain nothing and beg more questions than they are supposed to answer. It is easier to say the universe was created by some at present unknown natural event than to posit an intelligent agency that exists out side of every known aspect of the universe.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
