Terrible Atheist Argument #1

[Statler Waldorf]

Welcome back, SW!

Thanks my good friend.

By evidence I suppose information that would lead different people to the same conclusion is meant.

By this definition it would seem that such evidence does exist since the majority of people adhere to a theistic view of reality. This seems to be a fallacious appeal to popularity though.

Those premises seem to make God unnecessary as an explanation for the existence of the universe.

That’s precisely why I am not a big fan of the cosmological argument. It’s inductive in nature and only demonstrates the need for a causal agent not the monotheistic god of the Bible. It gets us in the right direction but that’s all.

Good point on the last comment, it was bad form.

Yup, did not make much sense.
