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

[GrandizerII]

That the universe began to exist can be argued on scientific grounds as well a metaphysical grounds.

That the universe is possibly eternal can also be argued on scientific grounds as well as metaphysical.

The most promising models for 50+ years have posited the beginning of the universe.

Today's promising models are different from past promising models. And where have you been? Everytime I look up articles on cosmology, I stumble upon articles discussing theories positing eternal universes.

All recent observations continue to confirm it and NEVER undercut it.

All recent cosmological observations? Not at all. You need to read more.

Of course you can find a fringe theory that says otherwise.

Just because a theory posits an eternal universe doesn't mean it's a fringe theory. That you don't like the theory doesn't make it a fringe theory.

Metaphysically speaking, there is no way to rationally believe that an infinite number of events could have already happened.

Argument from incredulity. Also, we've addressed this several times in one of your recent threads, and you weren't able to counter with proper logic.

This (and more) translates into premise (2) being much more likely true than not.

Keep dreaming.
