"Undefeated" Apologetic Argument

"Undefeated" Apologetic Argument
(January 24, 2014 at 1:57 pm)Simon Moon Wrote: So, I read Elliot's entire argument on his website, and...not impressed.

His entire argument is predicated on a false dichotomy. Not only that, his acronym SCPNCEU stands for, " Something can come from ''PURE-Nothingness'' and then create entire universe(s)."

No one (except ignorant or dishonest apologists) claims anything like this.

So he is also guilty of a straw man.

If I have time later, I might post more on why the Elliot argument is invalid and unsound. But if you google 'refuting the Elliot argument', there is more than enough good refutations to be found.

I mean, come on, this Elliot guy turned off comments on his YT vid because he was getting mercilessly slapped around.
