deism has nothing to offer us

Post by Advocate »

The assumption that the concept of god can be described with sufficient specificity to allow even hypothetical verification is unwarranted.

The assumption that finite beings could ever verify something infinite is unwarranted.

The assumption that such a verification has been created and completed successfully is unwarranted.

There is no level of understanding at which the idea of god can be understood as anything other than a concept indistinguishable from fiction.

Your statements are just a litany of unwarranted assumptions.
