Who throws the dice for you?

[Heywood]

Don't be silly. The "only" doesn't negate the "if". It negates the possibility of an explanation other than God.

... thus negating the 'if'! If there's no 'else' there's no reason for an 'if'!! Don't ever try to program an IF statement, you'll probably end the universe.

You can take the "only" out if you like.

How about I re-write the 'hypothesis' properly for you:

1. Problem: We see events which cannot be explained by local physical causes
2. Hypothesis: There is a 'control method' for 'events which cannot be explained by local physical causes'
3. Null-hypothesis: there is no 'control method' for 'events which cannot be explained by local physical causes'
4. Definition: <insert definition of 'events'>
5. Experiment: Observe and recreate 'events' in order to create definitions of possible 'control methods'
6. Result: Factually demonstrate the existence of God
7. Holy shit!

I predict that you will fail at 6.

Should you, somehow, fulfill the above requirements, you might then posit:

Premise 1: God is demonstrably existent
Premise 2: God interacts with quantum events in measurable ways
Premise 3: God-controlled quantum events have an appearance of randomness
Conclusion: God is the control mechanism behind the appearance of randomness in quantum events

Ahh...I see how you are misunderstanding now.

You are conflating premise 1 and premise 2.

If you take premise 1 by itself you should see the "if" isn't magically negated by the "only"

Premise 1: A is true only if B is true.
Premise 2: B is true.
Conclusion: A is true.

You see the condition in premise 1 is this.....either B is true or it isn't.

Premise 1: God exists only if events happen which cannot be explained by local physical causes.
Premise 2: Events happen which cannot be explained by local physical causes.
Conclusion: Therefore God exists.

Again....no begging the question.

If you do not get this...I'm afraid you are just a lost cause. This is my last response on this tangent.
