The pre-failure of apologetic arguments
#10
RE: The pre-failure of apologetic arguments
Problem about the 'what caused the universe' thing, is that you can assert not only that a god did it but anything. Santa caused the universe, the tooth fairy, ect. The argument can be applied to anything.
Prometheus
Atlas
Dione
Gaea
Thea
Ect ect.
Problem about making assertions and assuming the improbable is that it will take more explanations which makes it more complex and you'll be multiplying explanations beyond what's necessary to explain the event.
So it's far better to stick to Occam's Razer and simply state the universe exists and we don't know where it all came from. Removing the endless and unnecessary explanations altogether.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
