Strong and Weak Arguments

I'll admit science is not really my thing, but the reason I think it is the strongest is because we know the universe exists, but will probably never know how with any certainty (and that includes whether the universe even had an ultimate start). I think it will in time become the final hiding place of the God of the gaps (I think abiogenesis will be the fatal blow to any religion with an interactive God), and therefore strongest because I don't think it will be ever be possible to disprove 'goddidit', even if it is improbable.

Quote:But pointing to the bible can certainly be used to show how the premises of Christianity are inconsistent, no? That way you can attack Christianity using the bible even if you don't think it's true. Like I said above, dismantling the Christian God doesn't prove atheism though...

Yes agreed, useful when showing inconsistency within religion, but not for disproving a deity, even the Christian god.
