God's Special Logic
March 30, 2014 at 9:38 pm
I was talking to that repulsive woman I told you about a while ago who refuses to vote for an Atheist for president, and I was, as usual, dumbfounded by another claim she made. When I pointed out that the Holy Bible indicates God created life using magic, she said "no, it's not magic if God does it because he's God". Then I said "well, why can't science say anything about this thing you call god, and why can't we explain God logically to anyone." She basically repeated herself: "God doesn't need a logical explanation because he's God."
This is very strange. In other words, God is exempt from all rational thought and science simply because he/she/it/they is god. This is no different than Ray Comfort's claim about a grain of sand when he debated Russell and Matt from the Atheist Experience:
Russell: Ray, have you ever personally seen an intelligent person create a grain of sand?
Ray: I don't have to. I can see there's creation out there which shows there's a creator.

This is exactly why I'm not a theist. It represents all rationalistic ignorance.

Humans, we have a tendency to adhere position to ability. We are in a position less than god's therefore we lack the ability to understand him. I'm an African American therefore I cannot sit in the front of the bus. I'm not like god therefore I cannot question him.
When they get this stupid with me I bring up other gods and use the same logic on them, when they realize that their thinking allows for every other god to be unquestionable and an equal of their own it makes them angry and some realize their mistake.
PM me if you know where this is from "...knees in the breeze" and don't look it up!!

The god is special nonsense is nothing more than an apologist appeal to ignorance.

What's the difference between magic, and something non-magical but not understood?
As Clarke said, Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Well, then by all means, if God did not use magic, let's scientifically study God.

Stop projecting.
You're the only one advancing that claim.
