If you where making arguments for evolution, and I countered with non-sense about replacing evolution with garden gnomes and declaring it non-sense; I don’t think you would take it seriously. If you want to make a thread discussing the rationality of a paticular argument, then knock your socks off. I’m not impressed or interested in anything that you have presented this far, which is pretty much nothing.
In contrast to deities and garden gnomes, evolution has mountains of evidence that is testable, public, and a theory that is tested and can make predictions of future observations.
Neither the 'evidence' for deities nor for garden gnomes comes anywhere close to that for evolution. In fact, it isn't even nearly as good as the evidence for dark matter.
Pick whichever argument in favor of the existence of deities you please. In NO case does the supposed evidence weigh more than the evidence for garden gnomes.
You don’t seem to understand, you replace evolution with garden gnomes, and therefore it’s delisional. You can even throw in a “from the goo to the zoo” argument to drive the point home.
