If you object to this:
1. If God exists, objective moral values exist
2. Objective moral values exist
3. Therefore God exists.
you are left with what Dawkins says: “there is at bottom no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pointless indifference... We are machines for propagating DNA...It is every living object’s sole reason for being”
I object to this because it's an example of the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
