But the golf ball analogy at post 296 was clear enough, therefore your dismissal of it is hand-waiving.
My dismissal of it was justified by Hume's reasoning in Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, already given. It was many things, hand-waving wasn't one of them. It was fully justified. You are simply telling lies now.
I've shown plenty example of idiocy in traditional theology, among brilliant scholars. Now here you're just showing me an example of idiocy among professional philosophers.
Sorry I ain't buying this nonsense. I don't believe in magic - a material object can be impacted only in a billiard-ball collision.
Enjoy your delusions
