Wouldn't a newborn simply feel the same impulse? I don't know if it is as easy to start doing something you've never done as it is to continue doing something you have always done.

It's like having a discussion with a communist without having read marx. You can't speak to them rationally, but you can try and speak their own language. RE: Good question about life

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

However, academic Christians such as William Lane Craig do have pretty good argument. If you start the video below at 4:30 and watch for a few minutes you can see at least one. Lol, WLC an "Academic Christian". Anyone can look back at old apologetics, slap their modifications on, and use it in the contemporary era; theists haven't gotten any smarter from the time the argument was originally concocted, so it doesn't suprise me that they gobble it up now, too. My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity. -Bertrand Russell   (July 11, 2012 at 7:40 pm)padraic Wrote: IF the premise is true (which is actually arguable) the conclusion does not infer God. We are left with "what caused God?". The claim "God is the exception" is a logical fallacy called 'special pleading' which abrogates the premise. (a) Has a beginning. (b) has a cause. a -> b is equivalent to not b -> not a. Doesn't have a cause, implies it doesn't have a beginning. Well something is without cause, it can't be the universe since that has a beginning.  RE: Good question about life

Stimbo entered thread expecting good question about life. Stimbo has a disappoint about false advertising. Stimbo about to leave when:
A wild "Two Citations" Craig appeared! Stimbo used: Derisory Laughter It's super-effective! "Two Citations" trips over its own stale argument and ends up in a sad, crumpled heap. Use Pokéball (Y/N)? Stimbo decides not to bother.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So I registered here in hope of getting some help with this. You mean that simply because you don't understand how something works, it must me a "force in the universe" that explains it? I guess if you mean a natural law or physical phenomena, then yes I believe that is the case, but if you mean there must be a supernatural force, like a god, than I say no, that would be horse shit. 
It's an instinct, just as suckling at a teet is instinct. Not very mysterious to me. :/
