Hilarious argument from someone I encountered in the youtube comments

[Faith No More]

Besides, has anyone ever successfully argued that Gods can give things meaning?

Well, if he's omnipotent, wouldn't that entail he could give things meaning?

[Cyberman]

Put it this way. The anagram - possibly aptagram, given the context - of omnipotent is "no, impotent".

[Ferrocyanide]

Yeah, what utter drivel. Strawman garbage. A strawman made out of garbage smelly straw. More binary religious thinking. Either goddidit or nothing means anything. Pah!

Small point: we don't even know the universe came into existence at all. It might have just always existed in some form, with there never having been a state of "nothing".

Yes, it is the classical William Lane Craig thing or was it some other guy who was debating Christopher Hitchens.
The christian asked: "If there is no god, then where does our thoughts and feelings and intelligence comes from. Does it come from the oxygen molecule or carbonmolecule?"

Christopher's answer wasn't good.
Also, carbon is not a molecule. Also, our intelligence does not come from single molecules just like a calculators ability to calculate does not come from a silicon atom.

No. Omnipower means being able to move things around, making matter and energy from nothing. Traveling through time.
Giving a meaning to something is not exactly an action. It is like giving a name to someone. I am not taking any action on that someone. The name is not something detectable on that someone.

Holy fucking thread from the dead! Did you not read the warning about this thread being over 30 days old? Are you a sock?

I didn't notice the date. The thread was at the top of the list so I assumed it was fresh.

Well if god spelled backwards is dog and dog is man's best friend, then it only stands to reason that god is man's worst enemy.

It only makes sense if you have any sense.

I could have posted this in humor, but I decided to post it here instead.


For the record, I do know what argument he's trying to make, it's just so mind bogglingly stupid that i'd rather just let him continue commenting.

Good rod this is silly 

1. It's clear posts are on youtube are written by humans we observe posts being written by humans even if not every post is directly observed .

2. Glitches are detectable directly .Magic sky men are not .Glitches don't responses in coherent sentences humans do .

3.Unproven assumption order = sense =mind  as a necessity

4. False comparison 

5. The existence of human artifice cannot be used to prove god not matter what similarities you gleam

6. Evolution isn't glitch it is the system

[The Grand Nudger]

I like how close it gets to a profound realization about human behavior and cognizance, before spiraling into the earth in a flaming pile.

I can simplify it. 1. Glitches are extremely unlikely because servers use ECC RAM.
2. Computers use a binary system so single bit flips are unlikely.
3. The chances of a glitch creating an account, logging in and making a post that will reach youtube's database is pretty much an impossibility. The chances that the so-called glitch will keep responding to your post in a logical manner............
And all that happening inside of a few hours......

It does not compare well with the molecular world where there are a large number of molecules interacting and the error correction of early lifeforms would be non existent.

Theists are desperate people.

All excellent points
