Are there any decent arguments for God's existence which do not fall prey to the argument from ignorance fallacy? (i.e. God of the gaps)

    No one knows whether or not there was anything before the big bang yet. We do not know. Maybe it was God, maybe it wasn't. God is one explanation among many (i listed the others in my first post).

    My point is that these arguments do not prove God, they merely posit God.

    You're dumb then aren't you.

    I have been told that here before.

    I'm not surprised, if all you can say is that you don't understand what someone is saying. I would be more compassionate if you genuinely didn't understand, but the reality is that you were just trying to be spiteful, so i returned the favour.

    PP,

    I don't know of ANY argument that can prove the existence of God unless a baseline for proof is stated and even then, it is subjective.

    I mean, for some proof is irrelevant, for others proof is all around them.

    One man's proof is another man's psychosis.

    That's fair enough. Unfortunately for many people these proofs are irrefutable (& that includes many of the posters on this message board) & thus, they require refutation from time to time.

    I am very glad that you understand what I do (or do not) understand so well. That insight is to me more valuable than your compassion. Sometimes I do not understand myself.
