Burden of Proof

[Mark 13:13]

(try gaskings parody btw)

A piece of parody, Gasking's Proof for the Non-existence of god is as follows:

1. The creation of the universe is the greatest achievement imaginable.
2. The merit of an achievement consists of its intrinsic greatness and the ability of its creator.
3. The greater the handicap to the creator, the greater the achievement (would you be more impressed by Turner painting a beautiful landscape or a blind one-armed dwarf?)
4.The biggest handicap to a creator would be non-existence
5.Therefore if we suppose that the universe is the creation of an existing creator, we can conceive a greater being — namely, one who created everything while not existing.
6.Therefore, God does not exist.

I like it, its creative and silly, and so is fun. without getting drawn into fancy words for philosophical concepts which i,m ill equiped to use I can say there appears to me the possability of a problem with....

the first statement as if we are allowed to imagine is there a limit to what we can imagine? some may be able to that you could have a creator of the creator of a universe which would be a greater achievement that the first statement and this could go on forever as has been pointed out in other contexts on other threads.

the statement 5. is interesting as its close to what a singularity is to many people who can't understand how something called a singularity can have no volume and yet be seen to exist.
