Christians make the exclusive truth claim that our world was established by YHWH or the unmoved mover. God is real weather or not your brain imagines him to exist, and there are countless spirits within the world which your imagination also denies so all you are left with is your own cognition.
Our base truth-claims are worlds apart, you are a creation which denies the existence of a creator. You are an intelligent being which denies the existence of an intelligent, or intentionally organized world. Your birth was based on biological rules but my question to you is what is your explanation for as to how those rules were written?
Prove we were created and you might have a point there. What the vast majority of people have understood is the fallacy known as the argument from popularity. Note that the vast majority of people disagree on the the nature of the Creator(s). They can't all be right, but they CAN all be wrong.
If the Creator you imagine wanted us to accept its existence, it shouldn't have gone to so much effort to leave a trail of natural explanations for everything it supposedly did. Demonstrate that ANY spirit isn't imaginary and you'll have done more to show that supernatural powers are real than anyone in history.
I am an intelligent being who can see that everyting we observe follows naturally from the existence of matter, energy, space, and time and has a huge dollop of chaos that doesn't look at all ike the work of something like us. The rules you refer to are observations about how nature works and aren't analogous to written laws. And if we had no explanation at all, it wouldn't mean yours was correct, that would be the fallacy of argument from ignorance.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
