Well, if exploring the logical consequences of your argument isn't worth your time, so be it. But I would think the fact that your argument would mean that you would be completely unjustified in dismissing such a nonsensical claim would give you pause.

See, I told you you're ignoring what people say. It's been repeatedly pointed out to you that the "arena" in question is the realm of human claims, not understanding the fundamentals of the universe. If someone says 'X' is responsible for so and so, I am completely justified in evaluating the evidence put forth for such a claim with human reason, regardless of the question the claim tries to answer. The idea that any claim put forth by a human mind is beyond human reasoning to examine is absurd. Your whole argument is entirely predicated on completely ignoring the origin of the god claim.
