Creationism
#26
RE: Creationism
Firstly, that is an argument from antiquity and an argument from popularity, both of which are fallacious.

Secondly, You say that the absence of evidence isn't ground to reject it, but that is very different from what you have done in not only accepting the presence of God(s) but specifying exactly which Gods you believe exist.

Thirdly, There are many things that are not impossible that also do not exist. We should not believe propositions simply because they haven't been disproved, which is what you are arguing, instead we should believe in a proposition based on the arguments for it's existence.

Fourthly, What makes sense to us is no way necessarily true. To assume that because it makes sense to us it must be real is to be arrogant about one's cognitive abilities - this is evident due to the number of contradictory propositions that can make sense to an individual, for example Naturalism makes sense to me, substance dualism makes sense to others, to suggest that our ability to "make sense" of (or to rationalise) our beliefs makes them likely true is simply false.
