Atheism Destroyed in Under 50 Seconds

[Ace Otana]

Let "event" denote a state of affairs that has resulted from some cause, and that the only state of affairs that are causes are those that exist. Suppose that an event B is such that it can only ever be caused by A.

Outside of this 'hypothetical situation' you'll need to demonstrate A and that it is the cause, but continue with what you're saying....

That is "X caused B" is only true when X = A.

Outside of this 'hypothetical situation' you'd need to demonstrate this. But feel free to continue.....

Now, suppose that B occurs. Since B is an event, it was the result of a cause

A little side note, not all events may require a 'cause'. Virtual particles for example, randomly pop in and out of existence seemingly without a cause. But continue....

Call this cause C. Thus, we know "C caused B" is true.

So we've established that the 'cause' caused the event, and the point being?

From the above, we know C = A. Hence "A caused B" is true. Hence A exists. QED.

Sorry but it didn't make a lick of sense.

Thus your claim is false.

Like I said, it's a fucking standard. It's a basic principle. I see where you're going with this but I'm afraid it doesn't add up. The universe exists, and you're saying god is the only cause right? However god's existence hasn't been demonstrated and so cannot be used to explain the existence of the universe. Anything can be used to explain the existence of the universe, and it'll have the same likely hood as this 'god' character.

So far all I've seen is assertion after assertion.
