Atheist:  The Philosophical and Scientific arguments for God all have one central flaw in common; they are all arguments from ignorance. "I don't understand X, therefore God causes X." That's not an argument for anything; it's a logical fallacy.



Answer:  "I don't understand X, therefore God causes X."  Talk about a logical fallacy. That is what is known as a straw man. This does not represent our view at all. Sure, some lazy scientists might use the god of the gaps fallacy to explain a scientific mystery, but they are the exception and not the rule.

God is not some arbitrary figure we use to plug holes of knowledge. On the contrary, "God" is the short version of an "uncaused, timeless, spaceless, immaterial, extremely intelligent, , extremely powerful, and personal being who is the grounding for life, love, morality, consciousness, information, truth, and who is the only entity whose reason for existence is in himself; every other entity or quantity has a reason for their existence OUTSIDE of themselves." This description is made logically with the law of rational inference from WHAT WE KNOW:


If p then q; p; therefore q


p=the universe cannot cause itself or be eternal (first and second laws of thermodynamics), life cannot come from non-life, reason cannot come from non-reason, consciousness cannot come from unconsciousness, order cannot come from chaos, intelligence cannot come from disorder, information does not come from randomness, everything cannot come from nothing, and love, morality, consciousness, and truth cannot be grounded in anything in the natural universe.


q=the cause (of the universe) must be uncaused, timeless, spaceless, immaterial, extremely intelligent, extremely powerful, and personal being who is the grounding for life, love, morality, consciousness, information, truth, and who is the only entity whose reason for existence is in himself.
