    As usual, you completely ignore the scientific evidence presented and instead resort to a strawman argument by posing a question that can just as easily be used to refute the existence of God as it does the viability of evolution. Furthermore, you completely ignore the authors conclusion that faith and science are not mutually exclusive.

    When I suggested similar observations, to those far more eloquently and scientifically presented by SecretsofWillow, your response was that these phenomena could be explained by the commonality of themes expressed by a singular artist. This was far more plausible than your woeful attempt at logic displayed here.

    Your points 1a and 1b do not hold because, to an atheist, the universe came into being because of the random confluence of events that precipitated the requirements for life. This is indeed an objective explanation for the existence of the universe, ergo 1a and 1b are false.

    Your point 2 is nothing more than a simple assertion of your opinion and, as an exercise in logic, falls flat on its face.

    Your point 3, there’s many a philosopher out there that would spend hours, if not days, logically challenging our perceptions of reality. But that’s all a bit esoteric so I’ll give you that one.

    Your point 4, SecretsofWillow’s mouse/cookie/dog analogy debunks this point so well that I really don’t need to say anything further.

    So, when a seventeen year old highlights your logical inconsistencies, you resort to patronising diatribe and insults. Shame on you!

      I think I'm in love with you now <3
      Thank you - maxximiliann seems to have run out of illogical comebacks at this point and instead is trifling through my stories to find things to nitpick about.
      Except he now just seems fond of comparing my support of gay marriage to the fact I was raped - because that makes sense to him somehow.

      It feels better to know someone will back me on all of this (:

    Has the evolution of one organism into a completely different one ever been directly observed? :)

      Of course not, you moron. Otherwise it wouldn't be called a theory, it would be called fact.
      Has the process of god creating everything been directly observed? No. Is there anything to base a theory off of it at least? No.
      I accept logic not idiocy.

      So the only real evidence for evolution is the assumption of evolution, got it silly girl, LOL !!

      Now, the existence of God is not a theory, it's a metaphysical truth. Consider the following -


      (1) Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause.

      (A) If atheism is true, the universe has no objective explanation of its existence.

      (B) If the universe has an objective explanation of its existence then atheism is not true.

      (2) If the universe has an objective explanation of it's existence, that explanation is God.

      (3) The universe exists.

      (4) Therefore, the objective explanation of the universe's existence is God.

      Oh my god ... Your logic ... It's like you are five years old. I can't even.

      Maybe you are 12 years old in real life so perhaps I shouldn't waste my time considering you are misinformed and brainwashed.

      And you are illiterate because I spoke that the existence of god is NOT a theory there is absolutely nothing to suggests its happenings, unlike evolution.

      I don't blindly follow something. I chose knowledge.

      You basically gave a bunch of contradictions that didn't make much sense.

      Let me give you this analogy.

      Say you thought you had a mouse in your house so you sought out to leave a cookie on the ground in hopes to catch it; however, you knowingly have a dog that loves to eat cookies. And in the morning when the cookie is gone you automatically jump to the conclusion you have a mice infestation when the normal more logical person would conclude the cookie loving dog had ate it. And the mouse was all in your imagination and never existed.

      Which of the logical arguments did you not understand? I'd be more than happy to clarify them for you.

      Aw, honey, I want facts. Not the bible. Give me facts that God is real. I NEVER told you I did not believe in a greater force, because I do in some fashion. But I will never discuss my personal beliefs with the likes of you.
      If god is real - you are going to have much trouble getting into heaven with this terrible name your giving to god.
      You are a terrible human being.
      Like really.

      I also like how you ignored my argument because you couldn't come up with a answer for it I proved how stupid your argument was with a analogy.

      Also

      Logic = facts


      You don't have any facts thus you can't make a logical argument even if you tried.

      Again, doll, you're mistaken. Logic is not limited to facts. It's what gives facts their meaning. It is the science of the formal principles of reasoning. Take our exchange for instance:

      FACT: Upon being presented with a series of logical premisses for the existence of God, instead of even attempting to invalidate these, you employ a variety of vacuous ad hominem arguments against my person.

      CONCLUSION: You have no real arguments to put forth in refutation of the logic of the premisses presented nor the logical conclusion which they lead to for which you attempt to compensate for with pretentiousness and childish pettiness.

      See? A fact in and of itself is meaningless without understanding the conclusions they supply. That is what logic is all about.

      P.S. This lesson was a freebie but I'm gonna have to charge you for the next one, sorry, lol :)

      I'm tired. And you're arguing with a 17 year old girl about religion. You clearly don't have a life if you are so adamant about proving me wrong somehow. Which is impossible.
      I really hope you don't have any children - the world really doesn't need more of you.

      You hold so tightly to this religion because in reality outside this little false realm you have made for yourself - you have nothing, you are no one.

      I hold so tightly to it because it's the only thing that can save the world from black hearted monsters like you who see infanticide and genocide merely as population control. It's people who subscribe to your world view who made it possible for atheist monsters like Than Shwe, Stalin, Pol Pot, Lenin and Castro to slaughter millions of innocents.

      Never again.

      Never joke about genecide to a Jew, you bastard.
      My great/grandparents are all Holocaust survivors. To make that comparison is heartless.
      You crossed a line there - you have a extremely poor education.

      My people were among the first to end up in Hitler's concentration camps for opposing him. Many died there so don't talk to me about heartless comparisons for the outrage you express is the very same me and mine feel towards those like you who advocate infanticide.

      I did not make fun of you being raped, I did not make fun of disorders you have, I did not try to unsuccessfully belittle you.

      I did none of those things.

      Do you know your view points by most people would be seen as illogical and closed minded?
      People are becoming more accepting and liberal as time goes on and your becoming a laughing stock.
