God Almighty!


Will someone please take the keyboard away from Dick Ball before he injures himself with it?

Cogito, ergo God. Because Ball is irreducible complexity. Which is really what all the fuss is about anyway. It isn't that the universe is wondrous as a creation. It's that fellows such as this individual are not the wondrous centre of it in an atheist world view. And anything that isn't Cynosurety is just /not/ for contemplating.

He's not complex, just ridiculous.

You sir, are a God.

This guy, and others like him, invoke straw-man characterisations of atheists. He starts out telling us what an atheist thinks, yet I am nowhere near to this idiots representation. Example:
And why do atheists strive so hard to make sense of the universe which, if it is undesigned, has no sense? Their very striving to make sense of it presupposes a Creator....

Huh???? How the fuck does he get that? Trying to understand something is much more than discovering where it came from. That may even be irrelevant.
Furthermore, I strive to understand, not 'make sense' out of things.
Lastly, atheists, don't believe there is a god just like we don't believe in anything that is profoundly untenable (like we don't believe that aliens live inside our heads or that we don't believe that the sun revolves around the earth) and this is all. 'Atheists' sre just people with one opinion on the possible existense of a god(s), everything else proscribed to us is stereotyping.

The man even is honestly sick. In part, his reply to a comment I left included:

"In a godless, purely materialistic universe, smashing a rock, or smashing a pumpkin, or smashing in a baby's head makes absolutely no difference."

Ya, he crossed the line there. I called him out on it, and he feigned that no one actually believes that is evidence that there could be a God. Pretty weak.
