I suggest that you find those arguments more compelling, because they support what you already believe. You look at the arguments with a preconceived notion that god exists and with the desire to be correct, which makes arguments that support that desire more compelling than those that do not.
You probably want to tell me that atheists do the same thing, but that isn't true. We look with the desire to discover the truth... not to confirm a belief.
Okay. Sorry to butt in. Those are the only two things I wanted to address. I now return you and TFS to your regularly scheduled discussion.
