I'll make one more point for the evening. Given what you say here, I have to wonder just who your intended audience is?

Specifically speaking, Chad Wooters. He requested me to write this up.

Quote: Those who are likely to find an argument to God's implausibility persuasive are likely already convinced of his implausibility; those who currently believe in the possibility or reality of God are not going to find an argument toward mere implausibility of any real force in changing their minds.

It's simply one more thing to take into account. Also, let's not forget that the majority of theists joining this site have an agenda; to convert the masses. Quite obviously, I won't be converted because arguments such as this prevent me from believing in their concept, hence they *should* be interested in my opinions on the matter and whether or not a solution can be reached.
