Mmmmm. All these logical fallacies make my head hurt.
So I see we've landed on the subject of the teleological argument, which evidently I used. I'm looking into the fallacies of it and I can't find any notable examples of them. I ran across this website, and the main point that it makes is that the world is not perfect because of all the suffering that goes on. In truth, the world was made perfectly until man corrupted it. Man is not perfect because God gave him free will, etc. Can you guys give me any other links to different arguments?
1) God is the creator of the Universe. True, there is no concrete, visible proof of this, but it's the belief that I follow. My God is also a loving, amazing God who bestows mercy and grace upon his children.
2) That brings Jesus into the equation. Jesus died for our sins on a cross, allowing us to make it into a Heaven and spend eternity with him.
