And the arguments you reference -- the kalam and the moral, along with hundreds of other similar abortions -- are long-debunked laughing stock. The fact that you consider them to be valid, along with the fact that you think any such arguments can replace evidence, tells us the level of self-delusion you are willing to inflict upon yourself in order to cling onto your silly superstitions.
The arguments I mentioned use evidence. It seems to me sort of like a prosecutor who argues that a person is guilty based on the evidence of the person being found with a gun, etc… I don't think they have been debunked, as you say. I believe they are still debated in professional philosophy journals.

They are debated between atheists and theists, not two theists.

That verbose bit of word salad does nothing to address your responsibility -- and your deceitful, dishonest, disingenuous attempt to shirk your responsibility -- to the burden of proof.
I am sorry you feel that way about me. I am really trying to respond to people's points with fairness, reason, and respect.
