I appreciate your response. Yeah, I didn't mean to post this to the exclusion of atheists' thoughts. I'm curious though - I haven't really come across the mathematical improbability argument. Would you care to enlighten me?
Re:Tonus - your devolution process sounds much like that video series "Why I am no longer a Christian" by 3videnc3. He breaks down how faith is a network of beliefs and support structures where it is not just one theme, concept, or series of proofs, but many chips in a shell, as you say. It's good for me to be reminded of this, because I usually approach debates from a more singular aspect and lose sight of this.
Religious but open minded about the arguments of atheists? You may have spent your whole life learning about the arguments for religion. May I present to you 10 segmented hours for the case against it?
