Gaps in theistic arguments. Secular theism vs religious theism

Quote:But however a First Cause is conceived, it need not be the theistic God: all of these conclusions are compatible with deism and with an impersonal God.

Quote:The rejection of Darwinian evolution is compatible with deism, polytheism, and a finite God view.

I found that to be the most interesting part of his essay because it undermines the fundies' motivation for anti-evolution.

Hitchens and others have made this point many times and I think this point can't be stressed enough. The best arguments for a god do not lead to religious theism at all.

It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot

We are the United States of Amnesia, we learn nothing because we remember nothing. - Gore Vidal
