No. What it did was draw an inapt analogy.

If that cause and reason doesn't fit in their little world view, they reject it and wait for their scientists to hopefully, someday discover that for them.
No. What we do when we don't know something, is that we say, "I don't know". Yeah, I know it's a strange concept to you little believers, who insist on having answers even when you don't know what you're talking about (cf. your reply to me denigrating science even as you admitted that you didn't know much about science).

As we know, matter can phase-shift from and to energy. As for "qualities attributed to god", well, they're also qualities attributed to Ahura Mazda. Why is your little god more meaningful than him?

Argument from Incredulity.
How can you believe in an invisible being which can think things into material existence even as you argue he doesn't exist on a material plane? What is it about the outside Universe which requires a deity? And how can an immaterial being interact with material reality? Answers, please.
And what makes you, of all people, qualified to expound upon the nature of that deity?
That's right: you are unqualified to talk about god. If you wish to disagree, please, lay out your C.V. Let us see why you, of all people, are close enough to your god that you can speak for him.
