That some creature very interested in money, of all things in my house, knew that my house would have money, knew how to break in, and then took what they came for without being detected.

Probably a dragon..maybe a griffon.  I suppose there;s just the slimmest chance that burglars exists and burgle houses...but that's just so out there it's hardly sound.

LOL, I couldn't help but to highlight the inanity of this argument - and it doesn't change anything about your incoherence from one sentence to the next no matter who or what I think might have robbed me.  Honestly, out here where I am...it might actually be racoons..though they;d have to be oddly specific coons to take the cash and dash.

Quote:And what about your inability to recognize "something can't come from nothing" as true and that it doesn't involve special pleading.. since there was no nothing that preceeded a deity, eternal by definition. That's a very simple coherent thought you're dishonestly avoiding ....!!?
What about it?  Will we be having a rational discussion full of good reason..or the other kind?  You can probably imagine how different my remarks might be between the two.  I might spend the time to give you the fullest expression of my very thoughtful and open position on the matter..if we're having a rational discussion..but if we're having the other kind...?

Ten penguin red lightly swoon!

Quote:I am asking you to apply the same rules of thumb you use on a daily basis to the god question. If you think they're not reliable, you should normally stop relying on  them altogether, as a rational skeptic.... Am I asking too much?
-and I'm telling you flat out that I do use the same rules.  That's all there is to it.  So...criteria satisfied..but as with any other criteria you've ever offered...you won't be satisfied even when it's met.

Temet nosce.
But Grand if he defines god as eternal then it isn't special pleading accept it still is .
