In reply to the discussion: A Review of Ray Comfort’s The Atheist Delusion (Yep, I Watched the Whole Thing) [View all]AtheistCrusader
(33,982 posts)54. Infinity is a thing that 'we get'.
In cryptography we 'get' arrays of infinities within infinities.
Every thing that theists raise as an argument that god must exist because X is too complex or too whole, or appears to have the characteristics of design, and we turn around and show natural processes by which it arose, that's another element in the body of evidence that a god is not necessary to explain the universe, and not what theists claim it is.
If enough theistic claims are shown to be unreliable, and the universe shows no sign of requiring or having been influenced by a god, two possibilities are left;
1. A god is not necessary at all, even if it exists.
2. It probably doesn't exist, and was simply the invention of man, trying to explain a confusing world around him.

Mathematics is a poor measure of meta-physics. We're not in the Mathematics Group, are we?

I'll take your authority on incoherence but I need a link to the philosopy you assert.

It was Nietzsche, I think, who warned us about spending too much time
