Worst Arguments For Christianity

[Neo-Scholastic]

Simple. Purely physical processes just happen; they are not directed to any goals. If your life was a purely physical process then it could not support purposes and meanings.

Would you care to support that statement at all, rather than just asserting it?

I don’t need to. There’s this little thing called burden of proof. My point boils down to this: I see no evidence that physical processes alone are responsible for intentionality. If you have evidence for the positive claim that a purely physical process can have intentionality, then it’s on you.

Because I see no reason why a sufficiently advanced brain, composed as it is of physical processes, could not self-determine its own purpose and meaning.

Simply “seeing no reason” is not the same as coughing up a solution. It’s like me saying I see no reason why there cannot be a God, therefore God.

And please don't insult us both by demanding that all purpose and meaning needs to be externally derived, as I'm fairly sure you're going to; covering for one assertion with a second assertion is hardly good argumentation,

You hating it when you think people put words in your mouth doesn’t seem to stop you from doing so yourself.

…plenty of human inventions began as additional purposes assigned to objects that didn't originally serve them once new properties or uses for those objects were discovered.

Apparently you cannot distinguish between artifacts and naturally occurring substances? Plus your example is impotent since the functions of artifacts are externally assigned.
