Smug Athiest: "Hahahah, dumb God botherers believe in so much stupid superstitious shit!"

Dude: "How does your explanation of creation work again?"

Smug Atheist: "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!' <deluge of anti-religious memes>

... and so another revolution of the cycle completes.
Tune in next week, when it all happens again.
Really? You're going to rest your entire case for the existence of God on the existence of the universe? At best, it's an argument for agnosticism. We don't know how the universe was created. 300 years ago we had no idea what lightning actually was. Did that mean Zeus actually existed back then and not now?

The only case I've made thus far is that the smug atheists aren't standing upon any perch of intellectual superiority.
You'll notice how quickly you've all dissolved into religion bashing memes when asked to explain your own beliefs.

You've all done a fantastic job of demonstrating my point for me.

Big Bang is a refutation of atheism. It is not proof of any particular theory of God, just that atheism is utterly wrong.

It's weird arguing with DBtrek.
Case in point - people with the intellectual capacity of Jedi are going to look down on the beliefs of other's because "science".
:lol:

Like - I can't even add anything here to further highlight the absurdity.
He insults (You don't have the intellectual capacity), then tells you you're committing a foul (being condescending), and doesn't actually ever address the counter argument to his argument(can't add anything here to further highlight the absurdity).

Incorrect. It's a theory that shows we don't know everything. But admitting we do not know all does not mean there is an all powerful being that does. I'll admit to being agnostic rather than atheist, since I cannot explain it one way or the other. Proof of God however is an overreach. An iPhone would seem proof of God to Leonardo DaVinci.

LMFAO

Whatever caused the Big Bang is outside time and space. It's not a thing. It's eternal.

Wrong.

You all have tried multiple times to assign me the argument of “proving God”, but I’ve stayed on point and laughed at your desperate meme-scrambling instead.
:lol:

If only you could assign me a position as stupid as your own ... then you’d show me!!!

That is a statement without basis in any known facts. You are inserting your suppositions into the lack of facts. Your God could be Asimov's hyperspace supercomputer in "The Last Question".

I’m lumping you in with Brewster and Monte.
That’s where.

A better question for all three of you would be “Where did I say I was proving the existence of God”?

I’d never tackle the fool’s errand of claiming to prove or disprove God. Especially when I can tackle the infinitely simpler task of proving that you guys don’t have the knowledge you think you do, and aren’t holding the high ground you think you are.
