Quote:This is the perfect description from your biased perspective. As you cannot provide any valid alterative to account for existence the god concept is still on the table. You’ve gone one step too far with Ockham’s razor and eliminate causality due to what you believe. It doesn’t make sense to dismiss cause and effect but you’ve done so.No. I've rejected an unsupported claim. A claim made by theists. You cannot assert that god created anything if you have not yet demonstrated that a god exists. A does not prove B without first proving A.
God does not answer where it all came from, because his very existence has not yet been demonstrated. Also just because we don't know what caused X, doesn't make Y the default answer.
Also, you don't need an alternative to reject a baseless claim.
Quote:Tell me what they explain or why there is a requirement for them? The only similarity is you cannot provide an alternative for a god or a teapot, what this proves will remain a mystery in your own mind.So you can't disprove them then? Looks like I've successfully demonstrated the similarity between pixies and god. They are both concepts, they both cannot explain anything. They both lack evidence. God is a concept like any made up character. You can't prove or disprove either of them.
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.
