That's not true, I am very confident someone called Richard will exist in the future. It's pretty easy, I can even claim their father will have the name Robert, and the odds are pretty good I have predicted something accurately.
Quote: it can be concluded that humans get it from outside themselves.No it can't, not rationally anyway, you are a) using what appears to be an argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy, and b) violating Occam's razor.
Quote:there was information about the future, then there must be someone who makes that information. If someone makes it, it means there is an entity. This entity can convey messages. Indicating that this entity is alive and intelligent.
Quote:You may call this entity whatever you likeFirstly, you have not demonstrated that any entity other than the humans who wrote those books, are even possible, secondly the notion one can call this imagined and unevidenced entity whatever one likes, is an entirely subjective opinion.
Quote:(theist of course called it God), what is important is its atributes as I mentioned.I disagree, since you assigned those attributes arbitrarily, it is little more than begging the question fallacies. You need to:
1) Demonstrate sufficient objective evidence any deity or anything supernatural is even possible.
2) Demonstrate sufficient objective evidence that a deity exists.
3) Demonstrate sufficient objective evidence that it si the deity you imagine to be real.
Your argument here is fallacious and thus irrational. It is also of course used by adherents of other religions to make identically fallacious claims about other deities humans imagine to be real. It's poor reasoning, using weak arguments.
