The argument -is- irrational. It doesn't have to be made to be so. It could be scrubbed of nonsense and made arational....but that's as good as it gets.
I don't know why that's such a problem for people who believe that they've come to faith through special revelation and/or divine intervention. No one arguing god in this thread sat down and argued themselves into it, lol. Additionally, these post hoc rationalizations for a god..and their counters, all predate christer god in the first place. The synthesis of classical pagan philosophy with the newly assumed canaanite diety and his demi-god son left the case for gods no further advanced than it was in 400bc. It may have been arguable then..but even that's arguable. Nothing we've discovered since strengthens this case, but much has laid it to waste.
