In the Free For All - Science & Religion thread, Bill scott said:
quote:
Yet you, in all your glory, can not even produce one sting (sic) of DNA from nothing. (sigh)
I think this would be an excellent addition to The TGE Project which contains hundreds of arguments for the existence of a diety, from the sublime to the truly absurdly Hovindly ridiculous, such as:
quote:
106. ARGUMENT FROM AGNOSTICISM
1) I don't know.
2) Neither do you.
3) Therefore, God exists.
and
quote:
111. ARGUMENT FROM MARTYRDOM
1) The apostles would not have died for something they knew wasn't true.
2) The atheist gives examples of martyrs outside Christendom, but they were obviously fooled by Satan.
3) Therefore, God exists.
and
quote:
305. ARGUMENT FROM GEORGE HARRISON
1) George Harrison wrote "My Sweet Lord."
2) It's one of the most beautiful pop songs ever, and one of the only pop songs devoted to God.
3) I don't care if it is plagiarized from "He's So Fine!"
4) And no, the backup singers are NOT singing "Hare Krishna!"
5) Therefore, God exists.
You get the idea (well maybe Bill doesn't, but I trust that the rest of you do).
Anyway, if it's not already on the list, and no, I haven't read the whole thing, I propose:
BILL'S ARGUMENT FROM MAN'S INABILITY TO CREATE DNA:
1) DNA exists.
2) Man has not been able to create DNA.
3) Therefore, God exists.
Anyone have any more? Bill?

1) We dont know where the matter in the universe came from prior to the big bang.
2) Therefor, God exists. |
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History
"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

You forgot about Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky."

And George Harrison has no monopoly on proving God exists...1) Jesus Is Just Alright with The Byrds.
2) Jesus Is Just Alright with The Doobie Brothers.
3) Therefore, God exists. |

This one is dedicated to Bill from that site:
quote:
404. ARGUMENT FROM COMPLEXITY
1) That which is complex has a creator.
2) The universe is complex.
3) Only God is complex enough to create the universe.
4) Therefore, God exists.
And one more on this theme:
quote:
490. ARGUMENT FROM GEORGE MICHAEL
1) George Michael says you got to have a' faith, a' faith, a' faith.
2) I have faith.
3) Therefore, God exists.
491. ARGUMENT FROM COMPLEXITY
1) The human body is too complex to have happened by chance.
2) So it must have been designed.
3) [atheist: Well, wouldn't God be even more complex? So does he have a designer?]
4) See argument 490.
5) Therefore, God exists.

Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

Lisa: Yes, but wouldn't you rather know the truth than to delude yourself for happiness?
Marge: Well... um.... [goes outside to jump on tampoline with Homer.] |

5) [Though evidence was given] I still don't get how [Insert already discussed question] without god.
6) Therefore god exist. |

I think that ends the argument Gorgo. Answers the question by going straight to the horses mouth. |
