How to easily defeat any argument for God

[Acrobat]

I'm really interested to know what you guys think of this argument:

Theists often don't know how to respond I find or their responses are poor.

I’m a theist here.

And I was actually surprised, but that was a pretty well written article, especially for the fact you highlighted some of the failings of some popular new atheists arguments against God.

But the problem with your main argument here, is its confusion of an ontological conclusion, with an epistemological ones.

An analogy would be appropriate

Imagine a drug company creating a drug that cures x disease.

We could take the drug to a lab, and verify all it’s mechanisms of action, how it targets certain elements of our biology, and cures the disease. We could explain exactly how the drugs works.

Your argument is like asking, what does the drug company who made the drug, have to do with how the drug works?

The answer is, that they don’t have anything to do with how the drugs works.

But they have everything to do with how the drug came into being.

The equivalent ontological Theistic conclusions revolve around intentionality, seeing our reality as created for some underlying purpose endowed with a meaning of some sort. The antithesis for such a view isn’t found in some scientific explanation of how the world works, but in an opposing ontological view, such as nihilism, that it’s all a product of a some cosmic accident, a fluke. That it’s all sound and fury signifying nothing. A competing atheistic view would be along those lines.

Now one might ask what does such meaning and purpose have to do with God? But that would be like asking what does an author have to do with a novel.
