Answer: they didn't. The claim of theism remains baseless speculation.

Is any atheist here or anywhere going to say the aforementioned facts are compelling but I don't give it any credence anyway? Actually there was an atheist who did give these arguments a lot of credence but as a result he became a philosophical theist. I'm referring to Antony Flew.
Who I never heard of before his conversion to 'Somethingism' which certain Christians make a big deal out of because they are impressed by persons and credentials instead by substance and reason. I won't go into the circumstances of how unscrupulous Christians exploited Flew when he became senile. I'll be charitable and assume he was still in possession of his faculties when he flipped. But that was piss-poor reasoning on display there.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
