Atheists, what are the most convincing theist arguments you heard of?
March 12, 2017 at 8:10 pm
I am sure you have heard some arguments for theism, maybe theists are convinced that they fulfill a burden of proof.
Despite the problems these arguments may have, which one stands out the most to you?
I commonly hear atheists claim that the teleological argument, as terrible as it may be, is the most convincing of all theist arguments.
I personally think the Kalam Cosmological Argument is the #1.

They are only convincing if you decide to remain ignorant.

Actually, it does.
Anything that proceeds from "there is a magic man in the sky" has an enormous burden to overcome at the outset.

I haven't heard a single convincing argument. The best support to a theistic claim I have heard has come from anecdotes of personal experience, but that can't be used to rationally convince anyone but them. Arguments can be countered through logic alone, but I can only shrug at many of those anecdotes without having actual evidence in hand.

Have to side with Min on this one. If there were convincing theist arguments, I wouldn't be an atheist.
