This has no bearing whatsoever on the argument. If God knows anything, it must be a composite, and the article doesn't even try to address that crucial issue.

You're a funny sort of a person to debate with. Don't you remember what it was that you were objecting to in the first place? If God knows anything, then it must be able to store information, which requires being able to distinguish between different states, such as "michabo is male" and...

It is no mistake, it uses the descriptions of the Christian God straight from the mouth of Christians. It is an illustration that the descriptions of the Christian God lead to inconsistencies. To simply state that the Christian God is eternal when it has been demonstrated that the description...

Well, no one can say that you don't have a good grasp of Christian Apologetics. Unfortunately, that isn't a rebuttal nor a counterargument, it's just the hands-over-the-ears rejection of reality that typifies apologetic arguments. There is no mistake.

Um, no. He attacks all monotheisms. See my above post for an elaboration. He does give an argument for why any omniscient God must be more complex than the Universe. In short, at a minimum it must have some system for storing the state of all particles in the universe, for all times of the...

1. If you're right and he's using an incorrect definition, this does not make it pseudoscience! No where in your OP do you even say anything which would hint at pseudoscience. 2. It is not false, and it is not Creationism. Theistic Evolutionists do believe that God is "superhuman...

While it's true that opposition just deepens their cognitive dissonance, I don't think that any sort of persuasion is likely to pierce their shield. Personally, I think that we need to create an environment where they will receive mockery, ridicule, and scorn when they try to sell their brand...

I suspect that, despite claims to the contrary, theists don't come to form a belief in a god based on the presence of something or nothing or any other logical process for that matter. Instead, they form a belief in a god and then they retroactively seek to justify this belief. If you already...

My apologies if I was too hasty and didn't properly understand, I'm sure the fault was all mine.

The next obvious question is to ask whether "god" is something or nothing. If something, then clearly something can come from nothing since god did. If nothing, then still something can come from nothing since we came from god. Both choices are worse than that. If God is something, then God...

I don't see how these paragraphs align. If you think common sense and reality don't align, how can you make statements about reality such as "something can't come from nothing" and not base it on any observations? The point is that when you and others say "obvious and uncontroversial", you are...

What exactly do you mean by "something" and "nothing"? Why should we care about common sense? What do you mean by "something"?

Lots of people are saying that something can't come from nothing, deriding that as nonsensical. It isn't nonsensical, it's counter-intuitive. Before making statements about this, I'd like to know what you mean by "something". Are you talking about matter, in which case you're wrong, something...

What if the Lord really lied, can we call him a liar then?

There's the Uncommon Descent blog run by Bill Dembski, but just like other creationist sites, they delete any posts which challenge their views and ban persistent offenders (ie: anyone who challenges their views). Looks like even Creationists know that their ideas cannot survive unless their...

The only thing new since William Paley are the funny names that Creationists adopt to squeeze past US laws, some sub-par frauds and the tens of millions of dollars flooding into their accounts.

Their brain size is consistent for reptiles or birds of their size, which is to say that larger dinosaurs had larger brains than this myth but would still have smaller brains than comparably sized mammals. In particular, "walnut sized" brains only occurred in smaller dinosaurs. They may not all...

Larger dinosaurs had larger brains; smaller dinosaurs had smaller brains. It's not true that large dinosaurs had brains the size of walnuts - someone was lying to you. you'll find that elephants have very large bodies and a brain size which is in keeping with their mass. They are relatively...

In general, the larger the brain, the more memory, processing and greater thought sophistication, but the brain is used for more than thinking which is why larger animals need to have larger brains, just to control their larger bodies. Further, while the ratio of brain size to body size...

Even assuming that there was some reason to think omnipotence was possible or plausible, it doesn't address the question of God's existence. Saying God is omnipotent doesn't explain how God exists in the first place, since a god cannot create itself. They're free to say whatever they wish, but...
